Pick
I’m backing the Guardians here. They let one slip away on Tuesday and haven’t been all that impressive offensively, but I’m still high on Shane Bieber even if the strikeout numbers have been down in recent starts. He’s still the staff ace of the Guardians’ rotation and Clarke Schmidt has done nothing but put the Yankees behind the 8-ball every time he takes the mound. All in all, I think the Guardians salvage a win on Wednesday, so give me Cleveland here.
