On ESPN’s “Get Up,” host Mike Greenberg asked former Yankee Mark Teixeira to give his prediction for the team’s upcoming series against the Cleveland Indians.
Yankees fans, fair warning… you may not like his answer.
The former Yankee predicted that the Cleveland Indians will win this first-round matchup. Although he spent eight seasons (and the majority of his big league career) in pinstripes, the now-turned baseball analyst did not let his personal bias get in the way of his prediction.
Teixeira cited two reasons as to why he is picking Cleveland: the Indians’ right-handed pitching strength combined with the Yankees’ offensive inconsistency.
