The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians will play an early one today in the Bronx. The Bombers lit up the Guardians yesterday, 8-1, and I expect more of the same today. Cleveland will have Gavin Williams on the hill, and Aaron Judge and Juan Soto will be licking their chops. Over his last 3 turns, Williams is 1-2 with a bloated ERA of 7.71 and a 1.57 WHIP. The Yankees will have their ace, Gerrit Cole, on the hill and he will keep it tight. The future Hall of Famer is 1-0 over his last 3 starts with a 1.59 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. New York is averaging over 5 runs per game. They are second in the league in home runs with a team batting average of .251 and they are 24-4 in Cole’s last 28 starts against the AL Central.
