Result: Loss

Game# 917-918
Play On: Yankees -1.5 (+100)

Triston McKenzie has been awful during his last 2 starts while allowing 13 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings pitched. McKenzie has also surrendered an alarmingly high 16 home runs in 77 1/3 innings pitched this season. That’s especially concerning given the fact that he’ll be facing the best home run hitting team in baseball. The Yankees have hit 133 home runs in 79 games (1.68 PG) this season and that includes smacking 6 taters in a doubleheader sweep yesterday. The Guardians bullpen has a poor 7.54 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and gave up 8 home runs during 22 2/3 innings pitched in their last 7 games.

Jordan Montgomery has gone 7-0 in his last 7 team starts with a solid 3.20 ERA and superb 0.93 WHIP. The Yankees bullpen has a brilliant 0.79 ERA over their previous 7 games. Give me the Yankees on the run line.
