Final Yankees-Guardians Prediction & Pick
Will Warren is coming off a bad start, and he needed 53 pitches to get just five outs. He gave up more baserunners than he had outs. Current members of the Guardians have just one at-bat against Will Warren, though. That is from Nolan Jones, who is one for one with a three-RBI double. Meanwhile, Tanner Bibee has been hit or miss this year. He has given up 13 runs in just 20 innings of work. Still, all 13 runs are over 9.2 innings on the road. At home, he has given up just five hits and six walks in 10.1 innings of work. Further, current Yankees have not hit great against Bibee. They are just six for 23 with a home run and an RBI. Anthony Volpe has had some success, going three for six with a home run. Still, expect Bibee to have a solid start, while Will Warren struggles. Take the Guardians in this one.
Final Yankees-Guardians Prediction & Pick: Guardians ML (-116)
