Cleveland @ Seattle 4:10 ET --> Go Guardians

[Tanko]

I like the Guardians in this matchup.

Pitching:
McKenzie (CLE) 3.11 ERA vs Gonzales (SEA) 4.08 ERA. McKenzie is only allowing a very respectable 0.185 AVG (career) against these Mariners. Recent performance gives an edge to McKenzie. He's given up 8 runs in his last 4 starts for a 2.60 ERA. Gonzales has given up 15 runs in his last 4 starts for a 6.23 ERA.

Batting:
At the plate it doesn't get much closer than these two teams over the last 7-10 days.
CLE WRC+ 100, OPS 0.704, AVG 0.238
SEA WRC+ 111, OPS 0.722, AVG 0.238

Relief Pitching:
Both teams have very good bullpens. CLE 2.84 ERA. SEA 2.66 ERA.

Misc:
Cleveland is a +7 units on the road this year. Seattle is surprisingly -2 units at home.

Cleveland hasn't lost a series since the All-Star break. More impressively they are 8-2 in the first games of each series over that time (losing to Boston and Houston). They are 5-1 in first game's of series on the road. Seattle is 5-5 in the first games of series since All-Star break and are 2-3 in first game's of series at home.

I think there is some value on at CLE ML -108

I don't have the stats but I heard a Cleveland announcer say last week that the Indians have come back from behind to win more games than any other MLB team this year.

Lets go Guardians. Lets get some runs....

Jose Ramirez at the plate 2 on 2 out. Mariners bringing in Andres Munoz. Two of the best at their craft.

Munoz is nails struck him out.
