The current betting odds have not been listed for this game yet. The Yankees have been playing very well all season and now they are playing against the team where it all started for them. The Yankees began the season with a 7-6 record when people started to question how this team was going to do this season, but then they swept the Guardians in a series and have been 49-14 ever since that series. They have gone on a crazy run and have the 6th best record in MLB history after 60 games. They have been making money all season as a team and even blindly betting them every single game with the extremely high prices would still put you close to 25 units in the black this season. It does not even matter who is pitching for them in a game like this against a team like the Guardians who simply cannot compete or keep up with this team. The Yankees have the pitching and they have the batters to win any game and there is no reason to step in front of this train when it shows no signs of stopping. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
