The current betting odds have the Guardians listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 94-68 record overall which won them the AL East. They are also 44-37 in their home games and got through the ALDS by beating the Kansas City Royals. Meanwhile, the Guardians have also looked really good in their games this season with their 92-69 record overall which won them the AL Central. They are 42-39 in their road games and got through the ALDS by beating the Detroit Tigers. The Guardians are going to have Bibee on the mound in this one and he has looked good this year with his 12-8 record and his 3.47 ERA. He has looked great in the playoffs so far, only giving up 2 earned runs in his last start, and the team won both games he pitched in. The Yankees are going with Cole in this one and he has been their ace for a few years now, going 8-5 with a 3.41 ERA this season. He has looked good, only giving up 1 earned run in his last start and the team winning both of his playoff starts this season, but he did give up 4 earned runs in the other game they won. The Guardians didn't have to face the offense they are about to see with the Yankees since the Tigers had one of the worst offenses in the MLB, but the Guardians do have one of the best bullpens and the Yankees definitely didn't see this kind of pitching in their series against the Royals. Bibee has looked a lot better than Cole has in his starts lately too so the Guardians have the advantage here between him and the bullpen. The best way to place a bet here is on the Guardians to win this game.
