NY Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

I’ll stay with the Yankees I suppose. Probably not touching it, though. Cole is doing fine over his last three starts, posting just three earned in 17.0 total innings. He’s a tepid 1-0 in that time, though. As for Williams, he’s struggled lately with a combined 8.0 innings and 11 earned in two of his last three starts (6.0 innings; one earned in the other).

On Wednesday the Yankees got multiple hits from their first three batters in a nice offensive outing. Tim Mayza was the only arm used in the bullpen (2.0 innings; one earned) so New York should be fresh for the finale.
