I like the Yankees as a home favorite against the Guardians Thursday night. The Yankees are 12-3 in Nestor Cortes' 15 home starts on the season and 3-0 in his last three starts. Cortes posted a 0.49 ERA over those three outings and he is 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA in five career appearances (two starts) against Cleveland. Guardians righty Shane Bieber is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.74 in three career starts against the Bronx Bombers.

Guardians are 0-6 in their last 6 playoff road games. Yankees are 12-5 in their last 17 playoff home games.

10* PLAY ON NY YANKEES.
