Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees Preview & Picks

The Over is tipped to cash in the second game of this series.

Both teams are sending out pitchers who have been beaten up this season, so the run total is likely to be high.

  • The 2 starting pitcher have a combined ERA of 10.43
  • The Over cashed in the 3 previous meetings between the teams
  • Cleveland pitcher Joey Cantillo is 0-2 as a starter this season

Head To Head

  • The regular season series is tied at 2-2
  • Cleveland Guardians won 9-5 when the two teams last met on August 20

Cleveland Guardians Form

Cleveland entered this series having blown hot and cold since the start of August, going 7-10 in a 17-game spell.

The Guardians won their final three games of July and took the win streak to five games as they won their first two outings in August.

Their form collapsed after that though as they lost seven straight games, losing back-to-back meetings with Baltimore before they were swept by Arizona and lost twice in Minnesota.

Cleveland stopped the rot against the Twins with 2-1 and 5-3 wins, and built on those successes as they briefly returned home to beat the Chicago Cubs 9-8, 2-1 and 6-1.

The Guardians’ streak ended in Milwaukee however, as they were beaten 5-3, 2-1 and 2-0 by the Brewers.

New York Yankees Form

New York came into this series on a mixed run of form, having gone 8-7 in their 15 games since the start of August.

The Yankees ended July on a five-game win streak, but that consistency eluded them in early August as they went 3-3 in their first six games of the month.

They then hosted Texas and sandwiched a 9-4 loss to the Rangers with 8-0 and 8-7 victories, before heading to Chicago where they lost the series opener against the White Sox, 12-2.

New York responded over the final two games of that series though, winning 4-1 and 10-2, and they made it three wins in a row with a 3-0 victory in Detroit.

The Yankees’ run was ended at three games though, as they suffered back-to-back defeats to the Tigers, losing 4-0 and 3-2. 

Verdict

The Over has trended in recent meetings and these two starters have given up a bunch of runs this season, so we expect the scoreboard operator to be busy here.
