The Houston Astros will send Christian Javier to the mound. He is 7-1 with a 2.84 ERA. Cleveland will counter with Logan Allen. He is 3-2 with a 2.76 ERA. Javier faced the Guardians twice last season and was 2-0 in 13.1 innings and allowed six runs. The Cleveland Guardians rank 29th in Major League Baseball with a .651 team OPS while averaging 3.62 runs per game. The Guardians are -29 right now while the Astros are +60 in run differential. Houston is averaging 4.86 runs in their previous 14 games while Cleveland is scoring four runs in their last 13 games played. Houston is the overall better team and I like them to win this game easily
