Milwaukee Brewers (44-36 through June 28)
Randy Wolf (6-4, 3.20)

The Milwaukee Brewers have to be pleased with holding first place in the National League Central.

Thureday's Brewers vs. Yankees Interleague Gambling Preview

However, they have a demon to overcome in the Bronx this week. Miller Park has treated them great; the Brewers are 29-11 at home, best in the majors. But they’re 10 games under .500 on the road.

In their last two road games (through Tuesday), one at Fenway Park and one at Yankee Stadium, they were outscored 24-5.

Randy Wolf will try to curb Milwaukee’s road struggles Thursday afternoon.

The lefty hasn’t lost in seven decisions and has allowed just one homer over his last four starts. Still, he must be sweating. Wolf has always been a homer-prone pitcher and he’s facing the majors’ top power-hitting team on Thursday.

Over two career starts against the Bronx Bombers, Wolf has lasted a combined 10 innings, allowing eight runs and four homers.

New York Yankees (46-31 through June 28)
C.C. Sabathia (10-4, 3.25)

The New York Yankees had won three straight, scoring 26 runs, and seven of nine through Tuesday. Their power bats are cooking as usual. Mark Teixeira’s 24 bombs tie him with Jose Bautista for the major-league lead. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

With Curtis Granderson (21) and Robinson Cano (14) also raking, the Yanks have three of the top 12 home-run hitters in the American League.

Despite their regular sluggers’ prowess, the Yanks should consider calling Andruw Jones off the bench to start on Thursday. The former star has three homers off Wolf over 55 career at-bats.

C.C. Sabathia will go for his major league-leading 11th victory against the Brewers on Thursday.

He isn’t exactly hot of late, allowing four or more runs in three of his last four outings, and he’s winless over two career starts against Milwaukee.

MLB Trends:

Over is 6-2 in MIL last 8 road games.
Over is 9-4-1 in MIL last 14 on grass.
Over is 9-4-1 in MIL last 14 overall.
NYY are 14-4 in their last 18 Thu. games.
NYY are 20-8 in their last 28 overall.
NYY are 20-8 in their last 28 games on grass.

The pick:

C.C. hasn’t been great of late but the wins keep on coming. The key: run support. The Yankees’ offensive output over his last three outings: 12 runs, 10 runs, eight runs. C.C. only has to be average to win when the Yankees are producing runs like they are right now.

And it feels like Wolf and his gopher-ball ways will be thrown to the, er, wolves at Yankee Stadium.

Brewers vs Yankees prediction: Yankees 7, Brewers 3
