Sunday was a complete disaster. I’d love to say we are due for a bounce back, but with the season winding down, it’s time to play it safe and stick to what’s worked all year. When you have a process that delivers, trust it.
Now, let’s dive into this Guardians vs. Yankees matchup.

David Fry fired up in the ALDS vs Detroit
In the Bronx, we’re rolling with the Cleveland Guardians to go over 1.5 runs in the first five innings.
Carlos Rodon takes the mound for the Yankees in Game 1, fresh off a rough start in the ALDS where he surrendered four runs on seven hits in just 3.2 innings. The 31-year-old southpaw has been one of the Yankees’ most inconsistent starters, coming into today with the lowest pitcher rating on Batters-Box.com. His hard contact rate is a concerning 37.6%, and he has a poor ground ball rate, which means Cleveland’s hitters should be lining up to hit rockets. Rodon has allowed over two runs in 22 of his 33 starts this season, playoffs included.

Cleveland’s offense, after a challenging series against Detroit, regained its rhythm late in the games. They now have four elite-rated hitters and have averaged 2.33 runs in the first five innings over their last three games, as well as 2.35 runs on the road this season. Meanwhile, New York has allowed opponents to score an average of 2.36 runs in the first five innings at home this season.
The data points to another shaky outing for Rodon, making this spot too good to pass up. Give me the Guardians over 1.5 runs in the first five innings.
