TONIGHT’S MLB PICK
NEW YORK YANKEES @ CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
The Yankees and Guardians meet for Game 5 of the ALCS on Saturday night, with the Yankees holding a 3-1 series lead.
The Yankees have weathered late-game rallies in Cleveland, winning Game 4 by an 8-6 margin after a ninth-inning surge.
Carlos Rodon (16-9, 3.96 ERA) takes the mound for New York, coming off a strong performance earlier in the series where he struck out nine Guardians over six innings while allowing just one run. However, his road splits this season (7-7, 5.00 ERA) suggest some vulnerability.
Cleveland’s young right-hander Tanner Bibee (12-8, 3.47 ERA) will look to keep the Guardians alive. Bibee struggled in Game 2, lasting just 1.1 innings and giving up five hits and three runs.
Now pitching on short rest, Bibee will need to deliver a deeper outing to give Cleveland’s overworked bullpen a break after using eight pitchers in Game 4. The Guardians’ closer Emmanuel Classe has struggled this postseason with a 10.29 ERA and two blown saves, further complicating their chances in this elimination game.
