New York Yankees vs Miami Marlins Date and Time: August 1, 2021 Sunday ( 1:10 pm ET) Venue: LoanDepot Park Miami, FL. Prediction: New York Yankees Bookmaker: 1xbet
New York Yankees and Miami Marlins matchup this Sunday night at LoanDepot Park Miami. On the day of the 2021 MLB Trade Deadline, the Miami Marlins return home for a must-see seven-game homestand. After splitting a two-game series in Baltimore against the Orioles, the Marlins return to loanDepot Park, a place they hold a 24-23 record this season, for seven straight games against New York teams with the Yankees up first.
Miami will obviously be without recently traded outfielder Starling Martels for this series, with the potential for more depending on what transpires before the 4:00 pm ET trade deadline. One player however that will likely shine for the Fish in this series is third baseman Bryan Anderson who is slashing .375/.474/.750 with two HR’s over four games since returning from injury.
The Yankees on the other hand will most-likely see the debut of newly-acquired outfielder Joey Gallo, as well as newly-acquired first baseman. Anthony Rizzo. Alongside those two, New York’s lineup will also feature familiar names including,DJ LeMahieu, Gary Sanchez, and former Marlin Giancarlo Stanton
The Yankees are currently square in the middle of playoff contention three games back in the AL Wild Card race. New York is coming off a 2-1 series win in Tampa Bay to begin the week, but will surely be coming to town motivated after a 14-0 loss to the Rays on Thursday. With a 7-5 record since the All-Star break, the Yankees have struggled at times this season, but come to Miami playing overall good baseball at the moment.
