Those who bet on the NY Yankees are in the betting world used to be known as "suckers" - the Yankees are definitely not a glorious team anymore, their last title is from 2009, so they are definitely not a great team as they used to be.
Their record this year is 33-27 so they can win but it's almost like a roll of a dice when you look at the Indians' 35-25 record which is slightly better.
Recent results look much more promising for the Indians, they won 7 of their last 8 games.
The Yankees in comparison won only 2 of their last 8 games! (VERY POOR RECORD)
Not getting into the pitchers, they are both great pitchers and it's all about the other players tonight.
My thought?
Yankees would take it.
Won't be easy but they would come up with the upper hand.
Why? Because in betting many times you shouldn't look for the rational. I've learned this lesson too many times unfortunately.
