New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Saturday that Clay Holmes was unavailable for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Guardians. Boone said that the club did not want to use Holmes in a back-to-back situation, which is why he was not used to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning on Saturday. That contradicts what Holmes himself told reporters after the game though — that he thought he was available and was surprised when his name wasn’t called in the ninth inning. Instead, Wandy Peralta and Clarke Schmidt combined to blow that two-run lead and now the Yankees will be fighting for their postseason lives on Sunday night in Cleveland.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Óscar González played the role of hero yet again on Saturday night, smacking a two-out walk-off two-run single off of Clarke Schmidt to deliver the Guardians an improbable 6-5 comeback victory over the Yankees in Game 3 of the ALDS. Yikes. The Guardians entered the ninth inning trailing 5-3 and staring at a crushing 2-1 series deficit with a matchup against Gerrit Cole on tap for Game 4 on Sunday night. Instead, the Guardians came to life with three straight one-out singles by Myles Straw, Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez to load the bases in the ninth. Josh Naylor then went down on strikes, leaving it up to González. The 24-year-old rookie outfielder fell behind in the count 1-2 before smacking a Clarke Schmidt slider back up the middle for the dagger into the hearts of Yankees fans everywhere. The Guardians will now look to close things out and advance to the ALCS with a victory in Game 4 on Sunday night.

Yankees vs. Guardians MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I see the Yankees forcing a Game 5 despite losing in horrendous fashion last night. They’re 4-1 in their last five games after allowing five runs or more in their previous contest, are 8-3 in their last 11 games when their opponent allowed five runs or more in its previous game and are 5-2 in their last seven games coming off a loss. And despite the back-to-back wins, the Guardians are still only 2-7 in their last nine Divisional playoff games and have dropped seven of their last nine when playing the fourth game of a series.
