Command Analysis

New York Yankees

New York Yankees were not looking so terrifying in the first match of the series, plus their opponent prepared for that fixture quite well. It all went down to the extra inning after a draw in regular time. Aaron Boone's team managed to get a victory eventually (2:1). Team is still at the top of the American League standings, but the Yankees need to improve, if they want to retain the pole position.

Chicago Cubs

Chicago Cubs tried to slow down the Yankees' offense and for the most part they managed to do that. Cubs were just a bit unlucky in the end, a victory slipped away from them, but they were looking great on an away match against one of the strongest teams in the league. Chicago side wasted much energy and it might affect their performance in the second match of the series.

Tip and bets
The New Yorkers have probably underestimated their opponents in the first match of the series. Chicago Cubs were extremely close to a victory, but eventually fell a little short due to the lack of fortune and composure.
We are expecting a much more aggressive performance from the Yankees in the second match. Visitors are unlikely to find another way to surprise the opponent, so it will probably be a one-sided game. We offer to place a bet on a confident victory from the hosts.
