Yankees vs Guardians Prediction
The current betting odds have the Guardians listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked great in their games this season with their 39-26 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They have been a good road team too with their 20-14 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Guardians have looked great in their games this season with their 37-31 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central. They have looked good in their own ballpark too with their 17-15 home record this season. The Yankees are 6-4 in their last 10 games and have been getting hot again while the Guardians are 4-6 in their last 10 games, starting to slump after a hot streak. The Guardians did take 2 of their 3 games against the Yankees last week though and they have a great chance to take another game with this pitching matchup. The Guardians are going with Messick in this one and he has been a stud for them this season. He is 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA and he hasn't been giving up many runs at all. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and he is going to bounce back at home with another great start. The Yankees are going with Rodon in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 1-2 with a 2.88 ERA and he has looked a lot better lately. He is coming off a great start in which he gave up 1 earned run and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he is still working his way back from an injury and didn't have the best start to the season. Rodon is still a shaky starter this season and the Yankees have been really up and down as a team lately too. The Guardians are going to bring their best effort for the Yankees just like they did last week, so look for the Guardians to take advantage of this pitching matchup with one of their best starters on the mound. The best way to place a bet here is on the Guardians to win this game.
