New York Yankees vs Atlanta Braves Prediction – 7/19/2025

The New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves will play the second game of their interleague series on Saturday at Truist Park. The Braves hope to build on a series-opening victory but remain below .500 on the season. New York is a slight favorite on the road in this game as they look to even up the series at 1-1. Here, I take a closer look at this contest and make my Yankees vs Braves prediction for Saturday night.

Game Snapshot

• Matchup: New York Yankees vs Atlanta Braves
• Date & Time: Saturday, July 19, 2025 at 7:15 PM EDT
• Starting Pitchers: Will Warren (NYY) vs Joey Wentz (ATL)
• Stadium: Truist Park, Atlanta, GA
• Broadcast: YES Network, FDSN Southeast

Key Storylines

• Pitching form: New York’s Warren has struck out 112 batters over 95.1 innings. He is 6-5 with a 4.63 ERA and will look to stabilize things for the Yankees tonight. Joey Wentz of the Braves is 2-1 but owns a 6.32 ERA in 37 innings. He could have a hard time against the dangerous power bats of the Yankees tonight.
• Bullpen usage: Yankees relied on a bullpen game opener Friday and that could negatively impact their bullpen’s performance tonight. The Braves are in slightly better shape from a bullpen standpoint going into tonight.
• Recent team streaks: The Yankees have lost three games in a row going into Saturday night. Atlanta has won three of its last four games.

• Atlanta’s offense has scored five runs or more in three of their last four games.

New York Yankees vs Atlanta Braves Model Projection

Score Projection: Yankees 5 – Braves 4

Win Probability: Yankees 57%, Braves 43%

Final Thoughts

The Yankees certainly have their flaws at this point in the season. But I don’t like this matchup for the Braves. Wentz is likely to struggle with Judge and the bigger bats in the Yankees lineup tonight. I expect Judge to go deep and for the Yankees to pick up a win on the road to snap their three-game losing skid. If you are a Same Game Parlay enthusiast, combining those two markets might be the way to go.
