NY Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

The Cleveland Guardians continue to have scoring issues that’s concerning, but they’re also the second most profitable team for MLB bettors, behind only the Brewers. As talented as the Yankees are, they continue to have issues playing small baseball and scoring with guys on base. Last night alone, the Yankees were 1-16 with runners in scoring position. 1-16 !!!! Nestor Cortes is hit or miss this season. I like the value of the Guardians and the plus money.
