1. Yankees ML (–135) vs. Cubs
The Yankees are slight home favorites with Shota Imanaga taking the mound for the Cubs. While Imanaga has been strong this season, the Yankees lineup is far more consistent and powerful at home. Will Warren isn’t a dominant starter, but he’s competent enough to keep New York in control. The value on the moneyline is justified with home field and a superior bullpen.
2. Guardians –1.5 (+120) vs. White Sox
Cleveland sends Aaron Civale to the mound against one of the weakest offensive teams in baseball. The Guardians have played solid this series, and the White Sox continue to struggle against right-handed pitching. Civale projects to go 5+ innings with under 3 earned runs, and if Cleveland’s bats show up, this spread is excellent value.
Optional Prop Play
Eury Pérez Under 5.5 Strikeouts vs. Orioles
Pérez is a young, talented arm but the Orioles are a patient and contact-heavy lineup. The matchup and ballpark do not favor high strikeout totals, and this number may be inflated due to recent hype. Fade the Ks in this spot.
