(MLB) Cleveland vs. Tampa Bay,
Total: 8.50 | -115.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Guardians' offense is deep in the doldrums with a line of .210/.585 OPS over the last two weeks, managing just 9 runs in the last 5 games. The good news is the pitching staff, including the bullpen have been very good, limiting the Jays to 7 runs in that 4 game series. Tampa had one recent productive game on offense but has otherwise averaged just 3 runs in 4 of 5 games. Civale starts for the Rays. He had a rare sub-par start last time out, but is a fine candidate to bounce back after a 1.45 ERA in July. He will be extra motivated against the team that just traded him. Curry starts for the Guardians. The youngster has been effective in long relief, and in his brief starts of late. He gave up 2 runs over 5 innings last time out, his longest start to date. As noted, Cleveland is getting excellent work from the relievers, so another short start from Curry is not an issue. Take the Rays and the Guardians to have trouble scoring again today. I am wagering on the Under.
