This game will be played at Yankee Stadium at 7:37 PM ET on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.
Why Bet The Over:
✅ Gerrit Cole is the starting pitcher for the Yankees in this contest, which has been good news for over bettors as of late. Cole has allowed four or more earned runs in three of his last five starts, and tends to go through lapses which result in home runs for his opponents. While the Yankees should still win the game, Cole could still have his struggles that help this game hit the eight or more run mark.

✅ Cal Quantrill is expected to start on the mound for the Guardians, who had far from a clean start against the Yankees. Quantrill allowed three runs on six hits over 6.1 innings of work in his lone appearance against the Yankees this season. He will once again struggle to get through innings cleanly against the extremely potent Yankee lineup en route to another over.
✅ Stylistically, this series is very different from the series that the Guardians played against the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay is built on pitching, which led to low-scoring games, while the Yankees’ strength is its hitting. Expect the stylistic shift from the Rays series to the Yankees series to lead to a more aggressive approach from the Guardians and more runs to be scored in Game 1.
Cleveland Guardians
The Cleveland Guardians swept the Tampa Bay Rays at home in the American League Wild Card round, winning two low-scoring games to get through to the ALDS. They beat the Rays 2-1 in the first game of the series, then beat them 1-0 in a 15-inning affair. Here, the Guardians will likely need to do more scoring to knock off the Yankees in the second round of the postseason.
Cal Quantrill is set to get the start for the Guardians in this contest. He enters this matchup with a 15-5 record and a 3.38 ERA. This is the biggest start of Quantrill’s career to date, and it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of pitching in New York in the postseason, especially against a lineup featuring the power bats that the Yankees have.
New York Yankees
This season went well for the New York Yankees, as they won 99 games and finished with the second best record in the American League. As a result, they got a bye through the Wild Card round and into the ALDS. Here, they open their postseason and will aim to set the tone at home against a Cleveland team that has already won two games in the playoffs so far.
Gerrit Cole will start for the Yankees in this game, in what will be a huge test for him as a Yankee. Cole went 13-8 this season with a 3.50 ERA. While the bats for the Yankees can mask a lot of issues, any struggles from Cole early in this game could hush the crowd in New York and send things into a tailspin in a hurry. How Cole handles that pressure will have a lot to do with how this game goes for New York.
