Guardians at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Guardians 4

Moneyline

The Yanks have played a tough slate pitching-wise, and their batting numbers have some regression likely due that helps the attack. Its a zag play here that does require one to hold his nose with the way the team is producing of late.

The Guardians have had an easy slate for their pitchers. Expect their runs-allowed figures to climb.

BACK THE YANKEES (-168) with a partial-unit play.

Run line/Against the spread

The lean is on the Yankees, and this one has a likable Over. But we should want at least a +125 return. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has the best value in Tuesday’s matchup. The Yanks bullpen has gotten by with a .263 batting average on balls in play. The Cleveland pen has logged a .254 BABIP. Both are living dangerously, and there is some overall lean toward better days for the New York offense.

Cole is a workhorse ace, but he’s pitching some 2 1/2 runs below his expected ERA figures.

BACK THE OVER 7.5 (+104).
