Guardians vs Yankees Predictions and Picks
"Cleveland picked up the shutout win in game two of this series last night, and they have won three of their last four games .... New York has been very good over the last few weeks, but their offense has started to cool off. The Yankees have scored three runs or fewer in three of their last four games, [but] they are facing Cecconi, who allowed seven hits and five earned runs in his last start .... I expect a bounce-back outing from Fried in this game, and I like the Yankees to win by at least two runs here," David Racey, PickDawgz
"I'll take the Yankees with the run line in the series finale. Fried has been dominant at home this season with an ERA under 2.00 and a perfect 3-0 record. The Yankees... face Cecconi, a pitcher who has coughed up five home runs in three starts. That is a recipe for disaster against a Yankees team that has 97 home runs already this year. The Yankees are also 19-9 at home this season, while the Guardians are under .500 on the road. The Yankees will prevail on Thursday," Mark Ruelle, Winners and Whiners
