New York is on an 8-3 run at home and the Indians are 15-37 in the last 52 meetings at Yankee Stadium. Cleveland has picked the wrong time to slump, losing four of five -- mostly at home. Now they are on a five-game road trip off a 13-7 defeat to the Yankees yesterday. New York has Cleveland's number, with a 4-1 record against the Tribe in 2016 and an average of 7.6 runs in those encounters. Starlin Castro had a grand slam and Jacoby Ellsbury led a 16-hit attack with four hits as New York rolled Friday. Ellsbury is 10-for-22 with five runs scored in five games this month, while Mark Teixeira is 5-for-11 with three extra-base hits and six walks during a four-game hitting streak. New York has won three of five scoring 30 runs in those five contests. The Yankees are 11-5 against a team with a winning record, plus 32-13 when C.C. Sabathia is at home against a team with a winning record, so grab the home dog, and play the NY Yankees.
