DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe AL Central, per usual, is up for grabs. At the moment, it\u2019s the Guardians leading the way with a modest 21-19 record. On the flip side, Minnesota (16-23) is already fading out of contention. As always, the Guardians have won most of their games thanks to pitching and quality defense. That\u2019s despite mediocre production from tonight\u2019s starter, Tanner Bibee. Through eight outings this season, the right-hander owns a mediocre 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 36 strikeouts. However, he\u2019s been much better at home (1.66 ERA) than he has been on the road (8.15 ERA). <\/p>\n
Bibee will need to be at his best tonight with Twins ace Joe Ryan toeing the slab. However, the Guardians have had some success against the former All-Star. Ryan owns a mediocre 4.85 ERA over his last five meetings with Cleveland. On the flip side, the Twins have struggled in this spot before. Bibee has given up two runs or less in five of his last six outings against Minnesota. The Guards, winners in three straight, have a good shot at making it four tonight.<\/p>\n
After getting blanked last night, the Yankees will be eager to turn things around on Saturday night. However, that\u2019s easier said than done. New York, for all its power, can go through prolonged scoring droughts. Milwaukee may have unearthed a hidden gem in Kyle Harrison. Once a top prospect in San Francisco, the 24-year-old has been terrific with the Brewers. Through 29.2 innings, he\u2019s notched a 2.12 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 35 strikeouts. However, the Pinstripes own the American League\u2019s top OPS against left-handed pitching (.782). New York\u2019s three best hitters have an OPS above .900 against southpaws: Ben Rice (1.283), Aaron Judge (1.072) and Cody Bellinger (.990).<\/p>\n
To be fair, Harrison is more than capable of delivering a quality performance tonight. That\u2019ll likely be necessary if the Brewers are going to earn an upset this evening. Cam Schlittler is on the bump for the Yankees, making his ninth start. The 2025 breakout has continued to dominate this season, emerging as one of the sport\u2019s top arms. Through 47.1 innings, he\u2019s posted an MLB-best 1.52 ERA in addition to an 0.87 WHIP and 53 strikeouts. Schlittler has allowed more than one earned run on just two occasions. To boot, he has a sparkling 1.17 ERA over five outings on the road. The fireballer throws a four-seam fastball or sinker on nearly two-thirds of his pitches (64%). When thrown at 96 MPH or greater, Milwaukee has a .221 batting average against those two offerings. Keeping that in mind, it\u2019s difficult to go against the Yankees in this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryan Armetta breaks down his two favorite MLB bets today on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday\u2019s 15-game slate.
