Free Dodgers vs. Yankees MLB Pick

Luis Gil is going to be asked to help salvage at least one game in this series for the Yankees. After finishing the month of May by allowing just three runs across six starts, he got things started in June by giving up just one hit and no earned runs vs. the Twins. I like New York on the money line today as Gil continues his strong 2024.
