From Cleveland&#8217;s side, I like Jose Ramirez&#8217;s bases prop in a matchup he knows quite well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Guardians vs. Yankees prop picks for Aug. 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guardians vs. Yankees prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"insights\">MLB Markets:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/baseball\/mlb\">Click Here<\/a>&nbsp;| MLB Stats:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Judge over 0.5 runs (-124)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:92324\">Embed: #92324<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can you say about a hitter who does it all? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judge is rightfully well ahead of the field in the AL MVP race, posting the highest single-season OPS (1.187) since Barry Bonds&#8217; otherworldly season in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yankee captain bats third, which isn&#8217;t the best play to score from. But his MLB-leading 47 home runs mean he can drive himself in at any moment, and his MLB-leading .465 on-base percentage means he&#8217;s giving his teammates plenty of chances to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balking at the -124 price? You shouldn&#8217;t. Judge has scored in 71 of 125 games (56.8%), and the implied probability of -124 odds is 55.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gavin Williams (2-5, 5.02) is a starting pitcher that Judge and the rest of the Yankees should be able to do damage against. Williams has allowed a .767 OPS this season, and his .269 xBA ranks in the 17th percentile, per Baseball Savant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judge, meanwhile, ranks in the 100th percentile in xwOBA, xSLG, barrel rate, walk rate and hard-hit rate. He has scored in five straight games at Yankee Stadium and is 4-for-8 with three home runs in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Judge has scored 23 runs in his past 23 games, posting a .578 on-base percentage in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judge over 1.5 bases (+100):<\/strong> I considered making this my best bet, but Judge&#8217;s league-high walk rate gave me some pause. Still, Judge has been an animal on his bases prop this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:92331\">Embed: #92331<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six-time all-star has cashed the over on 1.5 bases in 67 of 125 games (53.6%), including in 16 of his past 23 games. He&#8217;s slugging .933 this month, which feels like it should be a typo \u2014 but it isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams pumps upper-90s fastballs, which seems perfectly fine with Judge. On fastballs thrown 97 mph or above (which is Williams&#8217; typical range), Judge has a .406\/.486\/.844 slash line in 38 plate appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ramirez over 1.5 bases (+123):<\/strong> Ramirez only has two hits in his past six games, so you might say this isn&#8217;t the best time to back him. But he&#8217;s still on a great run overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:92334\">Embed: #92334<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since July 29, Ramirez has a .288\/.344\/.650 slash line with 13 extra-base hits in 21 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, he has strong numbers against Cole. Ramirez is 12-for-33 (.364) with six extra-base hits and five walks against the New York right-hander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Ramirez cashed this bet in both matchups against Cole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:50 a.m. ET 08\/21\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Gerrit Cole on the mound, the New York Yankees host the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday afternoon to conclude their season series.
