Game 4 of the American League Championship Series is set for tonight after a dramatic Game 3 last night, where the Cleveland Guardians defeated the New York Yankees in extras with a walk-off home run. The Yankees still lead the series 2-1 as they’ll throw Luis Gil on the mound to face Gavin Williams of the Guardians.
Here’s everything you need to know for the action and our best bets.

Yankees vs Guardians ALCS Game 4 Best Bet ATS: Yankees -1.5 (+130)
The Yankees have undoubtedly been the better team on the field during the ALCS, but they had to give the Guardians a game, right? A four-game sweep is hard in baseball, so we’ll give the Guardians credit for their late-inning heroics to pull out last night’s win before expressing confidence in the Yankees to bounce back. The Yankees will have a much more trustworthy on the arm tonight in Luis Gil, the better lineup, and the motivation after dropping last night’s game. I have little faith in Gavin Williams to toss a respectable outing, and behind him, the Cleveland bullpen should be exhausted after last night. At +130, I love the price I’m getting for the Yankees to cash the run line.
Yankees vs Guardians ALCS Game 4 Best Bet Total: Yankees OVER 3.5 Total Runs (-140)
To keep this simple, the Yankees have scored at least five runs in every game this series, and we have little faith in Gavin Williams to put together a solid outing. The Yankees lineup has been cruising from top to bottom, and they’ll be extra motivated after last night’s walk-off win. I expect the Yankees’ best tonight. At -140, we’ll lay the juice and expect them to deliver at least four runs.

Yankees vs Guardians ALCS Game 4 Top Batter Prop: Giancarlo Stanton 1+ RBI (+145)
Giancarlo Stanton has been the most reliable hitter at the top of the Yankees’ lineup, recording six RBIs across seven games. We’re looking for the Yankees to have traffic on the bases when Stanton steps into the batter’s box, and even if not, he can send the ball out of the ballpark, as he has three home runs across the last five games. At +145, we’ll trust the guy who has been getting it done all postseason.
Yankees vs Guardians ALCS Game 4 Top Pitcher Prop: Gavin Williams OVER 3.5 Strikeouts (+125)
We’re looking to fade Gavin Williams tonight, but I still like the prospects of him racking up some strikeouts. He hasn’t made any postseason appearances yet, but he’s struck out at least four batters in ten of his last 13 starts, and knowing how taxed the Guardians’ bullpen likely is after last night’s game, Williams likely has a longer leash than he probably should. At +125, we’ll look for Williams to strike out between four and five batters across roughly four innings of work, but hopefully, for our other bets, allow a couple of runs along the way.
