While Cleveland is fighting to stay in the wild card picture in the American League playoff chase, the fact remains that they didn't make any moves to speak of at the trade deadline in order to bolster their team. Meanwhile, Houston added Christian Vazquez, Trey Mancini and Will Smith, among others to the mix. Throw in that they have the arguable AL Cy Young frontrunner on the mound here in Justin Verlander and things look brighter for them here. We've talked a lot about how the Guardians score a ton of runs when Cal Quantrill on the hill. This is the yin to Quantrill's yang as Zach Plesac takes the ball here. The Guardians average only 3.56 runs of support when he pitches and they've scored three runs or less in 10 of his 19 starts. Meanwhile, Verlander is 14-3 with a 1.81 ERA, a 0.871 WHIP and 122 punchouts over 124 frames in 19 starts. You have to give the upper hand on the mound to Houston and that's enough to give the victory to the visitors here.
