Season series: Yankees lead 3-2
The Guardians took it on the chin in Wednesday’s game, falling 8-1. Cleveland’s lone run was huge, though, scoring in the top of the 8th to put a bow on the scoring. That seemingly meaningless run flipped the total from the Under (8.5) to an Over.
Cleveland won the 1st meeting Tuesday 9-5 in 12 innings, as the Over (8.5) connected. The Over has a slight 4-3-1 edge in the past road games, while going 3-2 in the past 5 outings.
