On Friday, Taijuan Walker will take the mound for the Phillies, with a 3-5 record and a 3.75 ERA this season. The team will be without several key players due to injuries, including SS Carson Taylor, RP Jose Alvarado, SP Aaron Nola, 3B Alec Bohm, and RP Joe Ross.

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees are currently striving to secure a spot in the playoffs and defend their title as AL East champions. Despite leading the division earlier in the season, they were surpassed by the Blue Jays, who swept them in a recent series. Although the Yankees lost two out of three games in their latest matchup with the Blue Jays, Aaron Judge and Jasson Dominguez both hit home runs. With an overall record of 56-46, the Yankees are four games behind the Blue Jays and are gearing up to face the Phillies. Right-handed pitcher Will Warren will take the mound in the opener, boasting a 6-5 record with an ERA of 4.91. Warren has shown promise with three quality starts this season and will look to lead the Yankees to victory. Key players such as Ryan Yarbrough, Luis Gil, Mark Leiter Jr., and Brennen Davis are currently sidelined with injuries, impacting the team's performance.

Phillies Favored as Yankees Host Top Baseball Teams in Bronx Showdown

Two top baseball teams will compete on Friday night in the Bronx as the Yankees face the Phillies. Both teams have won three out of their last five games. The Yankees have the advantage in the pitching matchup, with Warren boasting a 5-3 home record and a 3.00 ERA in 10 home starts this season. On the other hand, Walker has struggled to pitch deep into games in his recent appearances. This may lead to the Phillies heavily relying on their bullpen, which has underperformed this season. The Phillies' strong hitters, like Schwarber and Harper, are expected to excel in the hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. Based on these factors, the Phillies are the favored team to win in this matchup.
