New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/22/25

In this game, we will see the New York Yankees take the Guardians in Cleveland. In Game 1, we saw both teams record 10 hits, but the Guardians won the game 6-4. The Guardians hit a couple of home runs in the 3rd inning while the Yankees hit a couple of home runs in the 7th and 8th innings. Both teams came into this series winning their previous series.

On the mound, we will see Will Warren for the Yankees and Tanner Bibee for the Guardians. Warren has pitched 15.2 innings, giving up 9 runs on 13 hits. Something worth taking note of is that he was pulled in his last game after 1.2 innings because he gave up 4 hits and 2 walks. Bibee on the other hand has had a hit-and-miss season. In 2 of his starts, he was untouchable, but both of those starts were against the Royals (28th in batting average). In his other 2 starts, he gave up 14 hits, 13 runs and 5 walks. Both pitchers are looking to rebound in this game.

The hitting for both of these teams has been impressive over the last week. The Yankees hold a batting average of .253 with 59 hits, 31 runs and 8 home runs. The Guardians hold a batting average of .277 with 67 hits, 33 runs and 10 home runs. Given the recent batting form of both teams and the struggles of their starters, we can suspect that this may be a high-scoring matchup. Along with that, Bibee has given up 7 home runs in the 2 games that were not against the Royals. This is not a good look as he prepares to face a Yankees team that leads the league in home runs with 40.
