Yankees vs Guardians

The 56-21 New York Yankees and 39-34 Cleveland Guardians square off in a double-header today with the first game kicking off at 12:10 PM EST.

The over is 8-3-1 in the Yankees' last dozen games as road favorites and 8-1-1 in the Guardians' last 10 as home underdogs. McCarty has been dreadful this season even in the minors - New York is a bit more capable than those minor league lineups. It certainly doesn't help that the opposing pitcher, Gerrit Cole, is mowing down opponents and allowed one or fewer runs in five of his last six starts. Instead of falling for a potential trap, I'll instead look to the total. He's primarily been a minor league arm and compiled a 6.11 June ERA down in Triple-A. Gerrit Cole looks to continue a dominant stretch in which he's allowed just two runs over his last three starts.

Stanton, who has 19 home runs this season, has hit 14 of them against right-handed pitchers, which Civale is. Cole is red hot. Against right handed bats like Stanton, Civale surrenders a .323 average, .548 slugging percentage, and gives up 1.64 home runs per nine innings. The Guardians are trotting out Aaron Civale to start the game, which doesn’t exactly instill much fear. While Aaron Judge is deservedly getting most of the attention for the boys in pinstripes with his MVP-caliber season, their star first baseman has been putting up numbers as well.

At the top of the lineup sits rookie outfielder Steven Kwan, who put the league on notice with a 177 wRC+ in April and didn’t swing and miss on any of the first 116 pitches he saw to start the season — the longest such whiff-less streak to start a campaign since 2000. The Guardians roll out a high-contact lineup (lowest whiff rate in MLB at 20.8 percent) headlined by a megastar in the midst of yet another MVP-adjacent campaign. Gallo is in the midst of one of the worst slumps imaginable, going hitless in his last 10 games — 0-for-26 to be exact — as part of a larger 3-for-43 stretch that has seen him strikeout over 40 percent of the time. Cleveland was originally going to start Aaron Civale against Cole on Friday, but with the rainout, the former has been pushed to the nightcap. Gerrit Cole gets the ball after previously facing Cleveland on April 24th — a 10-2 Yankees victory in which Cole tossed 6.2 scoreless innings with nine strikeouts. What better way to welcome the start of July than with some Yankees baseball?

After getting blown out in Game 1, the Guardians are going to roar back with a purpose in Game 2. The Yankees led the Guardians 11-4 after seven and a half innings in Game 1 of this Saturday doubleheader when this article was published. The New York Yankees take on the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of a doubleheader. The Yankee hitters are clearly in a groove. To be sure, Cortes has still been fantastic for New York. He has been one of many reasons for the Yankees’ sensational season (the team is on pace to exceed 115 wins). Yet, as great as Cortes has been, he has struggled in his last four starts. True, he hasn’t gotten crushed — he hasn’t allowed more than four runs in any start this year — but he certainly has come down from the mountain.
