The Yankees are coming off a sweep of the Seattle Mariners after Thursday's win in extra innings. New York's offense has been hot lately, resulting in the Yankees' last 11 games going Over the total.Â
Carlos Rodon gets the call for New York on Friday. The left-hander has a 3.30 ERA but is coming off his worst outing of the season where he allowed seven runs in five innings versus the Mets. The Yankees haven't been a profitable bet with Rodon on the mound recently, going 1-5 in his last six starts.Â
The NL Central-leading Cubs are expected to start relief pitcher Chris Flexen. Flexen will be making his first start of 2025, although he has started 110 games in his career. The veteran sports a 0.83 ERA in 17 relief appearances for Chicago this year.Â

The Giants have been one of the surprises in the National League over the first half of the season. San Francisco sits just five games back of Los Angeles in the NL West heading into this three-game series before the All-Star break.Â
Logan Webb will be on the hill for San Francisco. The 28-year-old right-hander has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. One of those outings came against the Dodgers where Webb gave up two runs over seven innings in a 6-2 Giants win.
The Dodgers counter with Dustin May. The right-hander has been inconsistent this season, although he put up a solid effort against the Giants on June 15, allowing three runs in six innings. Los Angeles has won six of May's last eight starts.Â
