Guardians vs Yankees Prediction
I’d love to lean toward the Guardians at home with Williams on the mound, where he’s pitched his best. In 39.1 innings, Williams has a 2.29 ERA and a .208 batting average allowed. However, we’re getting a pick ’em price with Warren and the Yankees. The better team and the Yankees have won 10 of Warren’s 12 appearances this season. In 28 road innings, Warren has a 2.25 ERA and a .234 batting average allowed. Throw in some plus money or something, and Cleveland would be worth a look. At this price, I’m rolling with the Yankees.
