After losing a series against the Tigers in the Little League Classic, the Yankees are tied with the Orioles for the AL East lead. They will host the Guardians in a promising series. The Guardians had a comfortable lead over the Twins for most of the season, but Minnesota has been the best team since the All-Star Game and the Guardians have a lead of just 2 games over the Twins.

Gil is the Yankees' scheduled pitcher to open the series in New York. After a great start and a bad July, Gil has continued to mix good starts with bad ones. The last one was a bad one when he took the loss against the White Sox and allowed 4 ER in 4.0 IP.

Veteran Boyd will be the pitcher for the Guardians, he returned after undergoing Tommy John surgery and did quite well, pitching 5.1 innings against the White Sox, allowing them only 1 ER and striking out 6. Boyd has not faced the Yankees since 2019.

In 2024 the Yankees won the series in Cleveland by 2-1, in a fairly close betting match. Yankees have won 7 of the last 10 games with Guardians.

Although he went 1-for-4 in the Little League Classic, Judge's bat is still hot, specifically Judge is second in the MLB in AVG, 1st in HRs, 1st in RBIs and 4th in runs scored.

Our New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

The Guardians are 11-6 after a day off, while the Yankees are 7-7. Gil has only faced the Guardians once, and that was in 2021, where he didn't even pitch 5 innings. For the Guardians, none of their last 7 road games have resulted in a 10+ run game. While the Yankees' offensive production may dip a bit on the season, their HR production never does, averaging 1.7 HRs per game over the last 10 games. Our prediction for Yankees vs Guardians is: Yankees ML, -156 at FanDuel.
