BETTING TRENDS

NY Yankees are 13-6 SU in their last 19 games.

NY Yankees are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games against Cleveland.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Yankees' last 7 games on the road.

NY Yankees are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games when playing on the road against Cleveland.

Cleveland are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.

Cleveland are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Cleveland's last 6 games against an opponent in the American League East Division division.

 

Prediction

The Guardians beat the Yankees again in another close game and will have the chance to eliminate them at home but Cal Quantrill will take the mound who already lost to the Yanks in the 1st game of this series allowing 3 runs in 5 innings pitched. Gerrit Cole will start for the Yanks who won the pitching matchup against Quantrill allowing only 1 run in 6.1 innings. The Yankees won't lose this game trust me.

PICK: Yankees ML (-170)
