Guardians vs. Yankees Best MLB Prop Bet

Gerrit Cole UNDER 5.5 Strikeouts (-120) via Caesars

Gerrit Cole recorded just two strikeouts in his first game back, but then racked up 10 strikeouts against the Royals in his second start. So, which version of Cole will show up tonight? He'll face a Guardians team that has the sixth-lowest strikeout rate over the past 30 days, striking out on just 20.3% of their at-bats. Because of that, I'm willing to bet on him going UNDER his strikeout total of 5.5.

Guardians vs. Yankees Prediction and Pick

I think now is a good time to bet on the Yankees to get upset for a second straight night. The Guardians are set as +130 underdogs after beating New York comfortably last night.

The Yankees' offense has cooled off a bit compared to their season-long numbers. In their past 30 days, they rank eighth in wRC+ at 110. While that's still a top 10 ranking, it's a low number for a lineup that's usually the best in baseball.

The Guardians are rolling with Gavin Williams on the mound today, and he's in the midst of a solid season, posting a 3.07 ERA and a 1.087 WHIP.

There's enough there for me to back the Guardians as +130 underdogs.
