If this keeps up, the New York Yankees will grow a reputation as having the deepest roster of all. New York's gameday lineup is dinged, dented, and deteriorated after a fresh set of spring injury cases, many involving the club's standouts. But the Yankees won't stop winning ball games in any case, a fact the Cleveland Guardians are well aware of following yesterday's 3-2 Yankees win in the series opener.
New York hosts Cleveland for tonight's rematch at Yankee Stadium at 7:05 p.m. EST. The Yankees' bright odds to beat the Guardians again would seem out-of-whack with the home team's injury report in addition to the early-season date, if only New York had not put a defiant hot streak together to lead the AL East.
Tonight's game is likely to attract O/U speculators, though they'll debate about the probable run total after yesterday's "hockey score" in the Bronx. What's bigger, Cleveland's trend, or Aaron Judge's home runs?

New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians Predictions and Picks
The Guardians are falling into more than a pattern of losing to the Yankees. They're also producing very low-scoring road games with consistency, such as New York's tense 3-2 triumph. It's only natural that sportsbooks began by putting pricier odds on "under" bets for tonight's O/U (9) run total market.
Then again, the Yankees scoring just two runs against the Guardians' pitching isn't a scenario that's likely to repeat itself twice in two days. Cleveland's probable pitcher Luis Ortiz has struggled this spring. "Ortiz struggled early against the Yankees, walking five, allowing four, and throwing 104 pitches across 4.1 innings," reported Matt Seese of SB Nation via MSN earlier this season.
It's smart to bet on Cleveland's low scoring trend in general. It's not wise to do so tonight, with the partial list of healthy Yankees feeling warmed up again. Pick the over-total-runs for a Hump Day betting win.
