Giants vs Yankees Probable Pitchers
Ross Stripling (10-4, 3.01 with Blue Jays in 2022) makes his first start for the Giants after signing a two-year, $25-million contract as a free agent in the offseason. Yankees starter Jhony Brito will be making his major-league debut.

Brito allowed five runs (three earned) and 13 innings in the Grapefruit League during spring training to go with 10 strikeouts and no walks.
Can't make a much more convincing case than the @Yankees' No. 27 prospect did today.

During spring training, Stripling worked 23 innings and was rocked for 19 runs on 40 hits while striking out 18 and walking only one.

Giants vs Yankees Betting Outlook
The Giants’ win in Saturday’s game ended in dramatic fashion. Closer Camilo Doval got Giancarlo Stanton to hit in a double play to preserve a two-run lead.
Brandon Crawford went 3 for 5 with a double and a home run for the Giants while Joc Pederson also went deep as he was 2 for 4. Mike Yastrzemski and David Villar added two hits each.

Giants catcher Joey Bart was scratched for the original lineup Saturday because of back tightness. He is scheduled to undergo a scan before Sunday’s game so his status is questionable.
Shortstop Anthony Volpe had his first two major-league hits and became the first Yankees rookie to steal bases in his first two career games since Fritz Maisel in 1913. Judge had three hits and his AL MVP odds are +650.
