The New York Yankees (36-24, 17-10 Home) will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard today when they host the Cleveland Indians (35-27, 18-13 Away) in the second game of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium in Brooklyn, NY. Fans can catch the action on MLB.TV once the game gets underway at 7:05 p.m. EST.
Cleveland chased Cam Schlitter early in yesterday’s game (4 1/3 innings) after tagging the Yankees ace for five runs across the 3rd, 4th, and 5th innings. At that point, they had a 5-4 advantage but tacked on four more runs to make the final score 9-4.
The Yankees will turn to another ace today to help them get back on track: Gerrit Cole. Cole has just two starts under his belt this season (1-0), but he has been his usual dominant self in both. He’s gone at least six innings but has yet to allow a run; he held Tampa Bay to two hits and Kansas City to four.
Gavin Williams is scheduled to get the start for the Guardians. Williams is 8-3 in 12 starts with a 3.07 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. He has gone 6+ innings in his last eight starts and in ten of 12 this season.

Our New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
I can only assume that the public is hammering the OVER on this game because of how yesterday’s contest played out. Okay—valid point, but I just don’t see it. Yes, both lineups were active yesterday, but today the Guardians are facing a much tougher challenge in Gerrit Cole. The same can be said for the Yankees and Cleveland starter Gavin Williams. Both pitchers are studs and will keep the other’s lineup in check. This score will be low (and UNDER the total).
Our Guardians vs. Yankees Pick: UNDER 7
