The Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees meet for the first time this season on Monday at Progressive Field.

The Guardians swept the skidding Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend largely because they were facing one of the worst pitching teams in baseball. Cleveland scored 18 runs against the Pirates, including two earned runs against Paul Skenes in a 3-0 win in Game 2. Cleveland is batting .238 with 86 runs and pitching 3.98 ERA this season.

The Yankees are streaking again after a 2-5 stretch in the second week of April. New York have won six of their last seven games since that bump and they are batting .256 with 4.6 runs over their last five games. Aaron Judge is putting up MVP-worthy numbers again, batting .390 with 7 homers and 25 RBIs.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Yankees’ offense and bullpen show up in Game 1 win over the Guardians.

I don’t trust the Yankees’ starter, Clark Schmidt, who allowed three runs in 5.2 innings in his last start vs. the Royals. I trust their offense, though, which is generating almost 5 runs a game in their five matches. The Yankees’ bullpen (3.32 ERA) is also decent enough to hold off any comeback attempt from opposing teams. The Guardians, 9-3 SU in its last 12 games, will be counting on Gavin Williams, who could be in a world of trouble against the Yankees’ star-studded batting lineup since he just came off a five-earned-run, 6.2-inning stint against the Orioles on April 16. Our betting prediction for the New York Yankees vs. the Cleveland Guardians: Yankees -1.5 Runs.

Prediction:

 

Yankees -1.5 Runs
