A pair of successful series against the Kansas City Royals (3:0) and the Tampa Bay Rays (3:1) has propelled the New York Yankees to the top of the American League standings. However, a tougher test now awaits. The Guardians are just two wins behind and recently completed a clean sweep on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates (3:0).
Cleveland Guardians
The second road trip of the season proved far more fruitful for the Guardians than the first, thanks in large part to designated hitter Kyle Manzardo. In 53 games last year, Manzardo hit five home runs. This season, the rookie has already gone deep six times in just 20 appearances, including two in the series against Pittsburgh Pirates. At home, the Guardians has been equally impressive, winning five out of six games and posting a +15 run differential.
New York Yankees
The Yankees picked up wins over the Kansas City Royals and the Tampa Bay Rays, both of whom have struggled offensively this season, averaging below the league benchmark of 4.31 runs per game. However,the Yankees' starting rotation has been plagued by injuries. Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil remain unavailable, while Clarke Schmidt is only just returning to full fitness. Without factoring in their recent matchups against struggling opponents, the Yankees hold an ERA of 4.67 — one of the five highest in the league.
Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Cleveland Guardians have the depth in both their starting rotation and bullpen to remain competitive against the New York Yankees' offence. Conversely, it’s hard to place much trust in the current form of the Yankees' starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt, who is yet to be properly tested this season. Taking all this into account, siding with the home team looks to be the more sensible option.
