Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Cleveland Guardians continue to have scoring issues despite finding ways to win, and now they're going to go up against Gerrit Cole, who appears to have found his form. Cole has allowed just 3 runs in his last 17 innings. Gavin Williams has been at his best on the road this season, but if the Guardians can't string together offense, it probably doesn't matter. Quick turnarounds also usually favor the home team. Give me the Yankees and the RL for max betting value with their ace on the bump.
