The New York Yankees will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the deciding game of their three-match MLB series on Thursday, August 6.

Yankees vs Phillies live stream details: Yankees vs Phillies prediction 

Our Yankees vs Phillies prediction is that the Yankees will continue their impressive run of dominance over the Phillies. While Phillies stars Didi Gregorius, Zack Wheeler and Bryce Harper are likely to put up a fight, the Yankees' overall strength is likely to make the difference in the series decider. Aaron Judge has been in fine form this season for the Yankees and stopping him will be key for the Phillies if they hope to secure a win on Thursday.
