Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees Prediction: The Guardians have to respond in this fixture

Progressive Field will host the third match of the semifinal encounter between Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees in Major League Baseball. The New York Yankees are in the lead in this fixture. How will the Cleveland Guardians approach this game?

The Cleveland Guardians will look to determine their fate after poor performances in the first two games of this series. In the first two games, Cleveland Guardians lost by three runs, scoring two in game one and three in game 2. In the meantime, Cleveland Guardians have lost four of their last six matches, two others against the Detroit Tigers. Heading into this game 3, Cleveland Guardians have three wins and six defeats in their previous nine games. 

The New York Yankees are playing so well in this playoff and will look to keep their winning run intact. In the first two matches of this semifinal, the New York Yankees have shown character, securing a 5-2 win in game one and a 6-3 victory in the second leg. Heading into this game, the New York Yankees have an unbeaten run of four matches, with just one defeat in their last seven games. 

The Cleveland Guardians are expected to be the better team at home in this game. While the New York Yankees are playing so well in this semifinal playoffs, I expect a lot of top performance here. Considering how strong the New York Yankees have been, this should be a close game. Yet, I do not see the Cleveland Guardians losing here; therefore, it is a win for them at home.
