That's the elephant in the room. Judge is day-to-day with a bone bruise in his upper right rib that's also bothering his right shoulder, and Tuesday was the first game he's missed all season. Boone hasn't ruled him out for tonight but hasn't ruled him in either. Jasson Dominguez is close — Boone said he'd face live pitching Wednesday and likely start a rehab assignment this week — and Giancarlo Stanton is running outside again. None of that helps the lineup tonight.
Pinnacle has the Yankees at -154 on the moneyline with the total sitting at 7.5. That feels about right given Cole's been untouchable and Cleveland's bullpen is missing Erik Sabrowski (elbow inflammation, no structural damage per his MRI) and still waiting on Carlos Hernandez to finish his rehab. If Williams keeps the ball in the yard and Cole does Cole things, the under at -124 is the cleanest read on the slate.
Cleveland is 35-27 and just rolled into the building and punched the AL East leader in the mouth. The Yankees are 36-24 and have lost 2 of their last 5, with both losses coming when their lineup got a little thin. First pitch 6:05 PM ET — if Judge's name shows up in that lineup card, the whole calculus shifts. If it doesn't, Cole has to carry it.
