Guardians vs. Yankees, 1:07PM ET

BET: Nestor Cortes 5+ Strikeouts (+102)

The Guardians have built an identity this season off of not striking out and getting the ball into play, but even the leanest strikeout team in the MLB this year will be tested today by Yankees ace Nestor Cortes. Cortes has been immense in two previous encounters against Cleveland this year, notching 6 and 8 Ks while only giving up a total of 4 hits across 12.1 IP. Taking away the Guardians' main strength will be a big part of New York taking a 2-0 lead in this series, and Cortes could be the man to facilitate that. With an average of close to 6 strikeouts over his last 10 starts, the plus money on offer here is too good to refuse.

We're taking Nestor Cortes to record at least 5 strikeouts today with DraftKings Sportsbook. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to bet.

Guardians vs. Yankees, 7:37PM ET

BET: Shane Bieber 5+ Strikeouts (-106)

Staying in the Bronx, and on the other side we've got Shane Bieber on the bump for the Guardians who our model still gives a good chance to come from behind and win this series. Bieber is always a good bet to tally some strikeouts, reaching five or more Ks in 10 of his last 12 games and is fresh off a win in his first playoff start against the Rays, striking out eight batters in 7+ innings. He's going to need a similar performance to steal Game 2 against the Yanks, but we like his chances.

We've got Shane Bieber to record 5+ Ks in this one with DraftKings Sportsbook. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to bet.
