Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Yankees are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re the Yankees and Cole is on the bump. However, Cole has just 12.2 innings under his belt, so the jury is still out. Williams has 76.1 innings this season, and he’s been strong with a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Williams has been a top-25 pitcher in baseball this season and is averaging well over a strikeout per inning. The value is with the Guardians and the plus money. I’ll take it.
