Prediction

The Guardians bounced back and beat the Yankees in a close game that ended in extra innings and they'll now play 2 games at home. Triston McKenzie will take the mound for the Guardians who has been pretty solid lately allowing only 2 runs in his last 17 innings pitched and dominated the Yankees earlier this season. Severino will start for the Yanks who pitched 7 nearly perfect innings against the Rangers. This should be another close game as both starters will dominate on the mound. Take the under.

PICK: Under 6.5 (-110)
