Cleveland Guardians vs NY Yankees Prediction 

New York comes into this game trying to send the Guardians home, while Cleveland is trying to send the series back to New York for game six. These two teams have played back to back thrilling games, with each team winning once. Both offenses have done a very good job at the plate and we have seen 14, 12, and 9 runs in the last three games. The bullpens have been very shaky in this series and I don’t think it is going to get any better, especially with the bullpens being overused. Take the over here.
