#953/954 ASA PLAY ON Over 7.5 Runs - Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees, Monday at 7:38 PM ET - The Yankees should pound Alex Cobb here. The Guardians right-hander only lasted 3 innings in his only post-season start and he allowed 2 earned runs in that one. He missed much of this season with injury and he only made 3 starts in the regular season. He also struggled badly in the lone road start in the bunch. Also, in 2021 and 2022 and 2023 Cobb had a much higher ERA on the road than at home all 3 seasons! The Yankees should get to him right away in this start and he is again unlikely to pitch deep as a result. The Yankees will indeed need to score well here because all signs point to Carlos Rodon having some struggles in this one against this Cleveland lineup. The Yankees southpaw struggled in his only post-season outing so far this year and Rodon struggled in his only post-season start a few years ago with the White Sox as well and did not make it out of the 3rd inning. There is a lot of pressure on him here in the Bronx and the prior ugly post-season experiences do not help matters. We expect that to get to him and the Guardians should give him plenty of trouble. Cleveland is off B2B wins in which they averaged 6 runs apiece. The Yankees last 3 games stayed under the total but this was on the heels of a stretch in which 8 of last 9 Yankees games dating back to the regular season have totaled 8 or more runs and 7 of those 8 reached a total of 10 or more runs! We expect a similar result here. Per our computer math, the highest probability in this one is for a range of 9 to 10 runs here. Over is the call in this one Monday evening.
