(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Cleveland,
Money Line: -124.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Win
The New York Yankees offense and bats were alive on Tuesday night and I expect them to keep rolling again tonight. The Indians don’t boast anywhere near the offensive firepower to keep up with that sort of scoring performance. They currently have one of the worst run-scoring offenses in the league. Cleveland is ranked 26th in the league in isolated power (.144) and 24th in BABIP (.277). Tanaka loves this stage and I expect him to come up big for NY. He put together a 2-2 record throughout the regular season with a 3.56 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He is coming off a terrible outing last time vs the Bleu Jays so I think he'll be focused and ready tonight! He will keep them off balance as the Indians are only averaging 4.13 runs per game. They aren’t exactly built to go blow-for-blow with one of the scariest lineups in baseball. Take the Yankees in Game 2 on Wednesday.
