Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Best Bet
1u - Gerrit Cole To Record A Win (-131) (Bet $131 to win $100)

This is an absolute no-brainer. Gerrit Cole every time we bet on him stinks and every time we don’t touch him he looks unhittable. I don’t believe in jinxes though so here we are again. Cole faces off against a Cleveland team that does hit righties pretty well but doesn’t have the best history vs Cole. These specific bats are a lifetime 11-73 against him and have only garnered four RBIs. Cole has struggled against Cleveland last year but the team has a new look so it’s an irrelevant point.
Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction
One could argue Cole is not only worse on the road but also worse at home, you wouldn’t be wrong. We just need him to go five innings, he has done so in 11 of his last 12. I think the Yankees offense is in for a huge day. Starting for Cleveland is Kirk Mccarty who has only 1 start in his short career. He allowed four earned runs in four innings to Texas whose offense has been lackluster. His only other pitching appearance was against this same Yankees team in a relief role and he allowed four earned runs in three innings to these Yankees. The guy has no momentum and has gotten hit hard both times he has shown his face.
The Yankees are -320 favorites for a reason, Cole just needs to not get absolutely crushed and we have a real sweat-free cash opportunity here. The Yankees offense is so elite scoring the most runs in the MLB and they’re playing a guy named Kirk, this is an autobet. This is a rare bet where it’s simply a logical bet in terms of who is pitching and each team's lineup, the home/away splits dont favor us, and I normally only pick on Cleveland vs lefties but this is a spot I can’t pass up. This game starts during the day and is my top play heading into Saturday!
