Although Diamond is a Yankee hater, let’s just say Diamond knew his way around Beantown long before Encore Boston casino was built, today I’m going with the Bronx Bombers. Why would Diamond bet on his beloved Red Sox arch rivals? Because the only color Diamond likes more than red is green.

The Guardians cut their series deficit to 2-1 in an October classic last night. But in the process, Cleveland used their bullpen too much for me to put money on them to tie the series.

The Yankees send Luis Gil to the hill, while the Guardians have Gavin Williams on the bump. I don’t trust Williams, who has a 4.86 ERA, to go past the fourth or fifth inning, putting pressure on Cleveland’s tired pen.
