Two bonafide studs are on the mound today, and it's always a great time watching two guys who are so great at their craft deal on an interleague platform. Decades ago, this would only happen in the World Series, so fans should take advantage of this rare opportunity.

Chicago Cubs vs. New York Yankees Prediction
The Yankees bats have never been hotter -- six home runs. The Cubs got off lucky since there were no base runners on for any of those longballs. With the streak the Yankees are on, it would be completely inadviseable to take the Cubs.
New York -1.5 (-125)
