Guardians vs. Yankees Prediction: Wednesday, August 21st

This series started off with a bang like most of us would have expected as these two titans swung away to 14 runs in the series opener. Given the matchup on the mound tonight, I expect a similar thing but with the Yankees gaining the upper hand this time around. 

New York has the home field advantage of which they’ve used well this season scoring 4.7 runs per game over the course of the year and now they’ll get to tee off on Joey Cantillo and his 6.23 ERA. Cantillo is bad on the road – like, really bad – and is allowing a 1.563 OPS to lefties. But, more on that later in the props. Given this matchup against the Yankees offense, my MLB best bets today will take the home team to dominate tonight on the run line with the money line being too chalky. 

Now moving into the props for MLB predictions today, we take a strong look at Juan Soto, who is a lefty of course, and as stated above, Cantillo is blowing up against them in his 3 starts so far this season. Soto’s total bases and hits+runs+RBIs are in play, but the odds are much better for the total bases. Him getting walked is always a concern for me, but I’m willing to risk it tonight as one double brings us home to +125! 

To finish off this game and our MLB best bets today, give me the Yankees offense to score lots of runs as they rank 8th in MLB in runs per game at home this season. While the number of 4.5 may seem daunting, I am willing to wager that they clear this number as they have in so many games this season.
