Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 06/02/26

The Cleveland Guardians hit the road for New York to kick off a three-game series after a scheduled day off. Cleveland is in first place by a game and a half over the Chicago White Sox, and it has done its best work on the road. The Guardians are 17-13 away from home this season. The Yankees are a game behind the Tampa Bay Rays, who have struggled with pitching lately. New York is light years ahead of everybody in the American League with a plus-98 run differential, while going 17-9 at home this season. They’ve scored an AL-best 305 runs, too.

Cleveland has dropped two in a row, giving up nine runs in each of the losses, while going 2-4 in the past six games, with 6.5 runs per game (RPG) allowed. The Over is 4-2 in the past six games, too. For New York, it is 6-1 in the past seven games, while going Over in three in a row. However, we have a strong pitching matchup featuring LHP Joey Cantillo (4-2, 3.57 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) of the Guardians, while RHP Cam Schlittler (7-2, 1.50 ERA, 0.85 WHIP) takes the ball for the Yankees. Despite a ton of Over results lately, the runs should be at a premium with the solid pitchers on each side.
