Yankees vs Guardians Prediction & Pick
Gerrit Cole looks like he's coming for blood and a Cy Young this season. He has been virtually unhittable so far. Cole's one flaw has been his propensity to give up home runs, something Clevelan'ds lineup isn't known for.
The Yankees should be able to ride the coatails of Cole to a win here. The Yankees offense hasn't exploded yet this season, but they surely have the talent to do so. Aaron Judge looks like he's on pace for another huge season and he had two home runs in just 17 at-bats against Cleveland last season.
Final Score Prediction:'Yankees: 7 | Guardians: 2
Yankees vs Guardians Best Bet
The first half of this game is our target considering the matchup. While even moneyline on that doesn't hold any value, we're going to take a 1st Half Alternate ru n line of Yankees -1.5 and get those plus odds. Cole held opponents scoreless through the first five innings of both of his starts, and his most recent one was against a more talented Phillies lineup. I have every expectation he will do the same here and the Yankees will find a way to score early against Gaddis.
