San Francisco Giants @ New York Yankees - April 12, 2025

Alright, let’s get ready for a showdown at Yankee Stadium that promises to be electric! As a die-hard Yankees fan, I can feel the excitement buzzing in the air already. The San Francisco Giants are rolling into town, and it’s time for my Bronx Bombers to show them how we do it in New York!

We’ve got Jordan Hicks on the mound for the Giants. The kid has been solid this season with an impressive 2.7 ERA and a record of 1-0. He’s shown he can strike guys out too, averaging about 8.9 strikeouts per game, which certainly puts him on our radar. But here’s where things get interesting—he’s facing off against our very own Will Warren. Sure, his stats don’t jump off the page with a 4.5 ERA and no wins yet under his belt, but you know what? This is New York! Our team feeds off the energy of the crowd, and sometimes all it takes is one moment to ignite a fire.

Now let’s talk hitting! My Yankees have been swinging hot bats lately with an average of nearly 6.8 runs per game and getting on base over 83% of the time! We’re putting together hits like nobody’s business—averaging about 9.3 hits per game means there will definitely be some fireworks tonight! On the other hand, those Giants are struggling offensively with just about 4.8 runs per game and a batting average that hovers around .220—yikes! Looks like they’ll need more than good pitching to keep up with our lineup.

In their last matchup earlier this week, we got shellacked by them in an embarrassing 9-1 loss as favorites—definitely not how I imagined my Tuesday night would go down while wearing my lucky jersey! But hey, every dog has its day, and I’m betting that today is OUR day! With home-field advantage and these passionate fans behind us at Yankee Stadium—the atmosphere will be absolutely electric!

The oddsmakers have opened up with us favored at -135 against their +120 odds; considering how we’ve performed historically at home versus teams like San Francisco (who went from being underdogs to conquering giants just last series), I think we’re due for some payback here.

Looking ahead at how both teams have been trending lately: sure we’ve struggled in recent games (0-5 ATS), but every new day brings fresh opportunities—and I believe tonight is ripe for redemption! With our high-powered offense backing Will Warren up on the mound, I expect a final score that leans toward us putting up more than just a few runs—we might even push past that total line of eight as well!

So mark your calendars folks: Saturday night lights are shining bright above Yankee Stadium—get ready for my boys to take care of business and come out on top against those Giants! GO YANKS!!!
