The Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees meet Monday in MLB action at Yankee Stadium. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Cleveland Guardians have scored 13 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 9 of their last 13 games. The Guardians are 3-13 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Steven Kwan leads the Guardians with 31 hits and 11 RBI, while Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez have combined for 55 hits and 23 RBI. Cal Quantrill gets the ball, and he is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA and 15 strikeouts this season. Quantrill is 0-0 with a 3.38 ERA and 3 strikeouts in his career against the Yankees.
The New York Yankees have scored 4 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 8 of their last 10 games. The Yankees are 3-12 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Anthony Rizzo leads the Yankees with 29 hits and 13 RBI, while Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres have combined for 47 hits and 24 RBI. Domingo German gets the ball, and he is 2-2 with a 5.54 ERA and 33 strikeouts this season. German is 1-2 with a 4.68 ERA and 27 strikeouts in his career against the Guardians.
The Guardians are 2-5 in their last 7 road games and 4-9 in their last 13 overall. The Yankees are 65-31 in their last 96 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 overall. The under is 10-2 in Guardians last 12 overall. The under is 27-11-1 in Yankees last 39 overall. The Guardians are 24-51 in the last 75 meetings in New York and 1-4 in the last 5 meetings.
Both of these offenses are riding the struggle bus, but this is a spot where things can turn around. Cal Quantrill has a 5.40 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 25 innings, while Domingo German has a 5.54 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 26 innings. Little league park as well. Both lineups are too talented to be held down forever, and both pitchers have their struggles. Give me the over.
