Cy Young hopeful Cristopher Sanchez pitches for the Phillies on Sunday Night Baseball as they try to avoid being swept at home by the Yankees. Will Warren takes the ball for the Bronx Bombers, and while he hasn't been great (4.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP), he's been serviceable many times in his 19 starts. First pitch for Sunday Night Baseball is set for 7:20 p.m. ET.
The SportsLine Projection Model doesn't have a strong lean on this game but has the Phillies winning in 60% of its simulations and the Yankees covering the +1.5 run line at a 63% rate.

Phillies money line
The hits just keep on coming for the Yankees, as another star went down with an injury Saturday night in Cody Bellinger. He felt something in his hamstring as he rounded first base on a late-game double and he said it tightened up on him.
Bellinger is scheduled for an MRI and will not play Sunday against the left-handed Sanchez, with Max Schuemann subbing in. With a depleted Yankees lineup and a mismatch on the hill with the starting pitchers, I'm going to take the Phillies to win here as they try to salvage one game and avoid the series sweep.

Jose Caballero 1+ Strikeout
Sanchez has been fine with his strikeouts lately but isn't running up huge numbers. Still, I like this matchup with Caballero who is striking out more than 30% of the time against southpaws. If he was to get three at-bats here against Sanchez, by the numbers he should be striking out at least once.
With the Bellinger injury, the Yankees have very little lineup flexibility to take him out of the lineup. Caballero has also become the bane of the umpires' existence, so they probably won't hesitate to punch him out, either.
If Jazz Chisholm were to play, I would have him as my top strikeout target from the Yankees lineup, but he's not projected to play in the left-on-left matchup so we'll go with Caballero, who is nearly guaranteed to play.
