The Cleveland Guardians are on the verge of clinching the series with a win tonight against the Baltimore Orioles.
After a great pitching duel in Monday night's contest, which included a fabulous 9th inning from Scott Barlow after Emmanuel Clase was unavailable, the Cleveland Guardians have an opportunity tonight to win their third consecutive series. Baltimore is one of the best teams in baseball and the Guardians are proving they're extremely tough to beat over a series.Guardians' SP Logan Allen is coming off two quality starts against the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays.
Tanner Bibee and Cleveland's bullpen tallied 13 strikeouts in last night's victory, including two strikeouts against catcher Adley Rutschman. The switch-hitting catcher will look to bounce back after last night's 1-for-4 effort. Rutschman has been one of the best hitters in the MLB against LHP this season, batting .418 with six home runs and 27 RBIs. His total bases is set at 1.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Cole Irving is set to make his 13th start of the season tonight. The southpaw has struggled in June, giving up 12 runs on 30 hits in his four starts. Despite the Orioles winning 17-5 against the New York Yankees in his pervious start, Irving gave up five runs on five hits and two home runs in 4.2 innings of work. His strikeout total is set at 3.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Guardians' offense faced a minor setback in game one of the series, only scoring three runs against the Orioles' pitching staff. It was an oddly low-scoring game, given that the Guardians and Orioles have the two highest scoring offenses in all of Major League Baseball. However, Jose Ramirez did not have a problem seeing the baseball last night, as Cleveland's star third basemen went 2-for-4 with a home run. Ramirez has been crushing LHP again this season, batting .
David Fry, in an effort to make a last-minute All-Star push, gets a favorable matchup tonight against Irving. The Guardians' rising star holds a .349 batting average against LHP in 2024, along with five home runs and 18 RBIs. Fry's total RBIs is set at 0.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
