Does $$\operatorname{E}[\max\{X, Y\}] \geq \operatorname{E}[\max\{X, Z\}]$$ imply $$\max\{\operatorname{E}[X], \operatorname{E}[Y]\} \geq \max\{\operatorname{E}[X], \operatorname{E}[Z]\}$$ (under the assumption that all the expectations are well defined)?
I don't know whether or not this should be true. My intuition is that if $Y$ and $Z$ have wildly different variations, we could construct a counterexample. If if is true, then I have tried proofs beginning with $\max\{X, Y\} \geq X \implies \operatorname{E}[\max\{X, Y\}] \geq \operatorname{E}[X]$ and similar for the other three cases, but I haven't made any progress worth showing beyond that.
How about the intermediate result that $\operatorname{E}[\max\{X, Y\}] \geq \operatorname{E}[\max\{X, Z\}]$ implies $\operatorname{E}[Y] \geq \operatorname{E}[Z]$?
