The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians will meet on Saturday night. Tonight will be Game 5 of the ALCS.
With a win tonight, the Yankees will advance to the World Series. No team in MLB history has won more World Series titles than the Yankees, but it has been quite some time since New York claimed a Championship (2009).
New York won a thriller last night 8-6. Giancarlo Stanton continued his strong postseason, launching a three-run home run into the Cleveland night which opened a 6-2 Yankees lead. It appeared New York would cruise to a win, but the Guardians showed fight late.

New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians ALCS Game 5 Prediction
Josh Naylor blasted a two-RBI double into the gap to inch the Guardians closer. The Guardians tied the game at six apiece on a Yankees error in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Cleveland had all the momentum when they called on all-star closer Emmanuel Clase. Clase entered the game struggling, and continued to have issues on the mound. New York scored a pair of runs to take an 8-6 lead and won by that score.
Tonight, the Guardians give the ball to their ace Tanner Bibee. Bibee went 12-8 with a 3.47 ERA in the regular season.
Opposing Bibbe will be southpaw Carlos Rodon. Rodon posted a record of 16-9 with an ERA of 3.96.

We are now 8-1 betting on the Championship series.

Bibee is the Guardians' best arm and will deliver a solid outing tonight.
Rodon has been up and down this postseason, and the Guardians' lineup matches up well against left-handed pitching.
