5:08PM: NYY/CLE First 5 Innings Over 3.5 -110 (3 Units).
NYY SP Clarke Schmidt pitched well in his playoff debut, allowing 2 ER on 4.2 IP at KC. That's been the norm as he's allowed 2 or more runs in 7 of his last 8 starts and failed to complete 6 innings in any of them. He allowed 2 Runs on 5 IP at CLE in his only start against the Guardians this year. He allowed 3 runs on 4 IP at CLE in his only start against them in 2023.
CLE SP Matthew Boyd didn't allow a run against the Tigers in 2 ALDS starts but combined to pitch just 6.2 innings. He won't be asked to go too deep with a good bullpen behind him, but he will need to navigate this lineup a couple times. It's a tough matchup for him with the Yankees power vs LHP. He made a start against the Yankees on August 20th and gave up 3 ER on 4 hits, 4 walks, and 2 HR across 5.1 IP. In his final 3 starts of the regular season he surrendered 9 runs across 11 IP.
