Yankees vs. Guardians prediction: Odds, recent stats, trends, and best bets for June 3

Last night the Cleveland Guardians took advantage of an off night for Yankees’ pitchers and the absence of Aaron Judge (bone bruise) and beat up the Bronx Bombers, 9-4, on Tuesday night. Jose Ramirez was exceptional picking up three doubles and driving in a pair of runs and Travis Bazzana drove in 4 with a sacrifice fly and a bases-clearing double of his own to help pace the Cleveland attack. Paul Goldschmidt was the offense for New York driving in all 4 runs with a home run and a single.

As noted, it was an off night for Yankees’ hurlers. Cam Schlittler (7-3) suffered through his worst start of the season, allowing five runs (four earned) over just 4.1 innings to take the loss. Colin Holderman (4-1) came on in relief of Joey Cantillo who lasted just four innings and allowed four runs himself.

Tonight’s pitching matchup features two of the best in baseball as Gavin Williams gets the ball for Cleveland and Gerrit Cole takes the mound for the Yankees. Cole has been near-perfect since his return from Tommy John surgery throwing 12.2 scoreless innings striking out 12 while walking only three. Williams has thrown himself into the Cy Young discussion with eight wins in eleven starts, 88 strikeouts, and a 3.07 ERA.

Lets dive into tonight’s matchup and find a sweat or two.
