The teams have split the first two games of the four-game set, and the <strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Cleveland Indians are -108 over the New York Yankees on Saturday.<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite being 29 games over .500, the Yankees need to head into the all-star break on a high note. They\u2019ve fallen 3.5 games behind Red Sox in the AL East amidst Boston\u2019s recent 10-game winning streak. The <strong>Yankees<\/strong> don\u2019t want to fall any further behind and give the Red Sox more breathing room atop the division.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleveland<\/strong>, meanwhile, is sitting comfortably atop the AL Central, 7.5 games ahead of the Twins. They have the fewest wins of any division leader in baseball and don\u2019t appear to be on the same level as the Red Sox, Yankees, and Astros. The <strong>Indians<\/strong> have also lost five of their last seven games, so they\u2019d like to break out of their funk before the break.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"returning-home\"><strong>Returning Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/mlb\/cc-sabathia-player-matchups?teamId=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">C.C. Sabathia will start for the <strong>Yankees<\/strong> on Saturday. It\u2019s easy to forget, but he spent the first eight and a half years of his big league career with the Indians.<\/a> He\u2019s hoping the familiar surroundings will help get him back on track after a subpar outing his last time out. Of course, that could just be an aberration, as he was excellent throughout the month of <strong>June<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When <strong>Sabathia<\/strong> faced the Indians at Yankee Stadium in early May, he tossed six shutout innings, allowing just three hits and striking out seven. However, replicating that performance against the likes of Francisco Lindor, Edwin Encarnacion, and Jose Ramirez won\u2019t be easy. Both Lindor and Ramirez have had great success against <strong>Sabathia<\/strong> in their careers, and Ramirez, in particular, is scorching hot right now, posting an OPS of 1.289 over his last seven games.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-true-test\"><strong>A True Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, the <strong>Yankees<\/strong> also have a difficult lineup for Cleveland starter <strong>Mike<\/strong> <strong>Clevinger<\/strong> to face. In 18 starts this season, Clevinger is 7-4 with a 3.34 ERA. However, he\u2019s been knocked around a little in his last couple of starts against the A\u2019s and Reds. If he can\u2019t get things turned around quickly, New York\u2019s lineup could have a field day with him.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Clevinger<\/strong> allowed two runs on just one hit over 7.1 innings when he opposed the Yankees in May. That should give him the confidence to do it again, especially with the Yankees a little short-handed with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/story\/_\/id\/23999526\/new-york-yankees-put-gleyber-torres-dl-hip-strain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez on the DL<\/a>. However, the Yankees have been getting some serious production from Brett Gardner and Greg Bird lately. Those two have combined for six home runs and 23 RBI\u2019s over the past week, giving New York plenty of ways to hurt <strong>Clevinger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-thinnest-of-margins\"><strong>The Thinnest of Margins<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After Cleveland\u2019s 6-5 win on Friday, this should be another tight game. But considering <strong>Cleveland\u2019s<\/strong> recent swoon and their troubled bullpen, the slight edge has to go to the Yankees, who are still the better team.\u00a0<em style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on the New York Yankees as the underdog in this game on Saturday night.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at MyBookie.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians will mix it up Saturday Night in American League action.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
