The Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees return to action Friday – after Thursday’s rainout – for Game 2 of their best-of-5 AL Division Series. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is scheduled for 1:07 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Guardians vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Series: Yankees lead 1-0; won regular-season series 5-1

Thursday’s projected starting pitchers – Cleveland RHP Shane Bieber and New York LHP Nestor Cortes Jr. – will now start Friday.

With the pitching matchup staying the same, SportsbookWire handicapper Kevin Erickson is sticking with his suggested plays. Below is a reproduction of his original article but with updated lines.

Published Thursday, 8:35 a.m. ET

The Guardians scored 1st in Tuesday’s Game 1, taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the 3rd, but the Yankees tied it in the bottom of the inning and added 3 more runs in the 5th and 6th inning to post a 4-1 win.

Cleveland has now dropped 7 straight games in the ALDS round, while going 0-5 in the last 5 divisional playoff games on the road. It is also 0-6 in the last 6 playoff road games overall.

New York has been just the opposite, winning 4 of the last 5 in the ALDS round at home, while going 55-21 in the last 76 games overall at Yankee Stadium.

Guardians at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Guardians 1

Moneyline

The YANKEES (-150) are a strong play at home. New York has been money at home in the postseason, while the Guardians have shown an inability in recent seasons to get it done on the road.

This will be a well-pitched game as Bieber will have Cleveland it in until the late innings. But Cortes has been amazing at home and he pitched well against the Guardians in the regular season, too.

Run line/Against the spread

NEW YORK -1.5 (+150) is worth playing for a HALF UNIT at least, although you might have to sweat it out until the later innings. New York won Game 1 by a 4-1 count, and didn’t secure the cover until the 6th inning. Expect a similar outcome here.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is the BEST PLAY on the board. Bieber and Cortes will post plenty of donuts early on, and the runs will be at a premium in Game 2.

The Under is 9-3 in the last 12 playoff road games for the Guardians, while going 5-1 in the last 6 games overall for the Yankees, and 4-1 in the previous 5 games at home.

RHP Cal Quantrill vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Quantrill (15-5, 3.38 ERA) had a 1.21 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 through 186 1/3 IP across 32 regular-season starts.

Guardians at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Guardians 2

Moneyline

The Yankees (-220) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive. New York could be a little rusty, and Cleveland comes in with a little momentum.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

YANKEES -1.5 (+105) is a better value. While there might be a little rust for New York and we could see a slow start, the Guardians had a whale of a time trying to score runs against Cole in the regular season. Cleveland may have won its 2 games against Tampa Bay but it scratched out just 3 runs of offense across 24 total innings in the process.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-130) is worth playing lightly. Quantrill was money away from home for most of the season, and he hasn’t lost since early July. The Yankees won’t find it easy to get to him, at least early on.

Cole dominated the Guardians during the regular season, and Cleveland has had trouble scoring against plenty of teams lately. However, look for the offense to pick up in the latter half of the game, as New York pours it on late against the Cleveland bullpen.

Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Cleveland Guardians (7-5) and New York Yankees (7-6) clash in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium this weekend. Friday’s opener is set for a 7:10 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Guardians vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: New York took four of seven games from Cleveland in 2021, but Cleveland outscored the Yanks 36-28.

Cleveland faltered after a decent start last season and finished 2 games under-.500 (80-82). The Guardians have been streaky in the early going in 2022: they have put together a four-game and a three-game win streak that sandwich a three-game losing skid.

The Yankees have been all-pitching and no offense so far. New York’s AL entry ranks third in MLB with a 2.58 ERA, but the Yanks rank 20th in OPS (.643).

Guardians at Yankees: Projected starters

RHP Eli Morgan vs. RHP Jameson Taillon

Morgan (1-0, 4.50 ERA) is making his first start of the season after three relief appearances. He has allowed 3 ER on 5 H with 6 K across 6 IP.

  • Logged a 5.34 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 89 1/3 innings across 18 starts in 2021.
  • Allowed just 1 run through 6 innings on the road against the Yankees in his lone start against them last season on Sept. 19.

Taillon (0-1, 3.72 ERA) is making his third start. He has given up 4 ER on 8 H and 1 BB with 8 K through 9 2/3 IP.

  • Posted a 4.30 ERA across 144 1/3 IP in 2021 and just a 3.46 ERA after June 18.
  • Allowed 2 ER in 4 2/3 IP at the Baltimore Orioles Saturday in his last start.

Run line/Against the spread

Let’s start with the premise that this is not an attractively priced game. However, for a partial-unit play, one might consider NEW YORK -1.5 (+105).

The Cleveland offense is operating with a hefty .331 batting average on balls in play (and it has benefited from a .240 BABIP defensively).

The Yankee offense has underplayed its talent level so far. A high-leverage OPS of .591 has come alongside a .210 BABIP.

Over/Under

BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-105).

The Over is 11-4 in the last 15 Cleveland-New York meetings. With a fade-Cleveland pitching angle mixing with a play-the-Yanks’ batting angle, this might be a weekend of Over plays at warming Yankee Stadium.
