The Yankees and Guardians have been heading in very different directions lately. The Yankees are capitalizing and raking in wins, while Cleveland is flirting with a .500 record.

The Yankees have gone 11-3 over their last 14 games played since May 18, while Cleveland has gone just 5-12 in their last 17 games since May 14.

Another important factor is Clarke Schmidt, who will start on Wednesday for the Yankees. In the two games this season where Schmidt has started, New York has come out victorious both times.

From a betting perspective, things are pointing toward the Yankees. As a home favorite on MLB betting sites this season, they hold the third-best record in the league at 19-8 and boast a +2.2 win margin, the second-highest in the league in that scenario.
