The New York’s ninth is up against the wall after squandering a good lead in Game 3 of the series.
The Yankees bullpen could not hold a two-run lead in the ninth inning as they allowed five hits and three runs. According to ESPN Stats, before this loss, the organization had a 167-0 record in the postseason history when going into the ninth act winning by two or more runs.
The offense, Aaron Judge, Oswaldo Cabrera and Harrison Bader, hit home runs to give their team an important advantage, but the pitching couldn’t get the job done this time.
To keep their hopes alive and return to New York, the manager, Aaron Boone, will send Gerritt Cole to the mound. This will be the right-hander’s second start of the series after working 6.1 innings of one-run ball in Game 1, the Yankees’ only win so far in the series.
Starting pitcher: Gerrit Cole (13-8, 3.50 ERA).
Injuries: No injuries reported.
Betting on Cleveland Guardians
- Season record: 92-70 (Central Division Leader).
- Regular round vs Yankees: 1-5 .
- LA Division Series: 0-0.
- Runline: (+1.5, -125).
- Moneyline: (+145).
- Over/Under: 7.
Cleveland is just 27 outs away from qualifying, for the first time, into an American Championship Series since 2016 after a big comeback in Game 3.
The Guardians’ offense never gave up, and one more time, Oscar Gonzalez was the hero when he hit a bases-loaded walk-off single in the ninth inning to put the Yankees away.
It was the second time that Gonzalez hit a ground ball to leave the opponent behind this postseason, and the third time he connected to give the victory to his team after the hit in the tenth inning of Game 2 in New York.
Looking to define the series at home, Cal Quantrill will take the mound at Progressive Field on Sunday. This will be the second time that the right-hander will open a game in this series, after starting Game 1 when he worked five three-run innings.
Starting pitcher: Cal Quantrill (15-5, 3.38 ERA).
Injuries: No injuries reported.
JefeBet Prediction
The Yankees have failed to win their last two games, and this Sunday, they will rely on Gerrit Cole to try to bring the series back to Yankee Stadium and pull off that comeback against the Cleveland team.
Cole has completely dominated the Guardians this year, and this Sunday, rushed by the need to win, he will once again lead the Yankees to victory despite Cleveland’s performance. On the other hand, Cleveland will be relying on an inconsistent Cal Quantrill.
Prediction: Yankees to win (NY 4 – CLE 2).
