Why you should back the Guardians
This is a major pitching mismatch, as Cleveland's Shane Bieber has already gone six strong innings in both of his starts this season. He has only allowed three combined runs in those games after posting a 2.88 ERA during the 2022 regular season. Bieber started a pair of games in the playoffs last year as well, finishing with a 2.03 ERA and 0.90 WHIP.
Meanwhile, New York's Domingo German allowed four earned runs across 4.2 innings against Philadelphia in his first start of the season. He has struggled against Cleveland during his career, going 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA in four starts. The Guardians ranked seventh in the MLB in team batting average (.254) last year, putting them well ahead of New York at No. 15 (.241).
Why you should back the Yankees
Despite a tough start this season, German had a solid 2022 campaign, finishing with a 3.61 ERA across 14 starts. He is backed up by one of the best lineups in the majors, led by reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge. He set an AL record with 62 home runs in 2022, and he blasted two homers against Baltimore on Sunday to give him four overall this season.
Judge homered to center field in the third inning on Sunday and then reached the bullpens in the eighth inning of a 5-3 win. First baseman Anthony Rizzo and right fielder Franchy Cordero each had multiple hits for the Yankees in their sixth win of the campaign. They have won nine of their last 12 games in Cleveland, giving them confidence heading into this matchup.
