Cleveland Guardians vs NY Yankees Prediction

The NY Yankees have been the better team this series and they’re the safer play. It will be interesting to see how Gil and Williams handle their first career postseason Games. I’d assume Williams will handle the nerves better because he’s at home, while Gil has had control issues all year and any slight hiccups could snowball into a disaster. Also, that Game 3 win and the way the Guardians won it could have a carry-over effect. Momentum is a hell of a thing, and it kind of feels like the Yankees didn’t cut the head off the snake when they had the chance. I’ll take a stab with the Guardians in Game 4 and the plus money.
