LiontipsNew York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians. Prediction and Betting Tips for MLB 2022 (October 12, 2022).
Command Analysis
New York Yankees have been the leaders in the American League for most of the regular season, but they had too many injuries lately and dropped to 2nd, letting Houston Astros take the lead. The team managed to overcome their problems, but we can't say that the Yankees approach the playoffs in their top form. In the last match of the regular season, the team split four games with Texas Rangers (3-1, 5-4, 2-3, 2-4).
At the end of the regular season, Cleveland Guardians played 11 games at home. They demonstrated excellent results in this long home series, securing victories in nine games. The Guardians lost twice, both times to Kansas City Royals (1-7, 2-5). The team also can boast of great results on road trips - the Guardians haven't lost in their previous nine away games.
