It's the fourth straight road game for Cleveland after losing the last two at Boston, 8-7 and 7-1. They're on a 6-11 slide with a sputtering offense ranked 26th in runs scored, 22nd in on-base percentage, and 27th in slugging, while the pitching is 17th in WHIP. Batters are hitting .303 off Cal Quantrill and Cleveland is 13-32 against a team with a bullpen WHIP of 1.150 or better. The Yankees have the second-best bullpen in the majors (2.93 ERA) and are Top 10 in team ERA, third in strikeouts, and fourth in WHIP. New York is happy to be back in the Bronx after a disappointing road trip. Starter Domingo German has a 25-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 17 innings at Yankee Stadium where he's holding opposing hitters to a .190 average. In the previous two years at home, he's held batters to averages of .222 and .219. The Yankees are on a 51-24 run versus Cleveland, plus 73-43 at home as a favorite of -150 or less. Play New York.
