Yankees vs. Marlins — Over 8
Will Warren (NYY) hasn’t put it all together yet (4.44 ERA, 1.2 HR/9, 3.6 BB/9), but he’s backed by a Yankees lineup that led MLB in both homers and scoring (5.2 RPG) last season.

Meanwhile, Eury Perez showed drastic splits — 2.93 ERA at home vs. 5.33 on the road, with HR rate jumping from 0.2 to 1.9 per nine.

Luka’s setback

Luka Doncic exited with a hamstring injury, and he will have an MRI today.
