Yankees vs. Guardians Predictions
Clarke Schmidt will get the start for New York, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. He has given up seven homers and 22 runs in 29 innings pitched so far this season. In his last start, Clarke allowed 10 hits and five earned runs against the Texas Rangers.
Meanwhile, Shane Bieber has been steady for the Guardians, giving up three or fewer earned runs in every game this season. Bieber isn’t as dominant as in previous seasons, but he’s still a solid bet to provide a quality start every time he takes the bump.
Bieber started against the Yankees earlier this season, giving up two earned runs and five hits across seven innings on April 10.
Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are still on the injured list, giving the normally powerful Yankees a little less pop in their lineup. Let’s take the better overall pitcher to get the job done on the road in this game.
