Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Guardians continue to be hit or miss, and while Ortiz has been OK at times this season, he has a 6.39 ERA and .280 allowed batting average in 31 road innings. Ortiz isn’t going to like the Little League park that is Yankee Stadium. The Yankees continue to pile up the wins, and Schmidt has been more consistent this season, which includes allowing 23 hits and 10 runs in his last 28.2 innings. In 22.2 home innings, Schmidt has a 3.18 ERA and a .195 allowed batting average. The Yankees are at home, the better team, and have the pitching edge. Give me the Yankees, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
