Cleveland enters this game 3-0 after beating Oakland 8-0, 6-4 and 12-3. Cleveland will be starting Carlos Carrasco in this game who pitched for Cleveland for 11 years before going to New York and having three rough years with the Mets. Carrasco was 3-8 last season with a 6.80 ERA.

Oakland will be starting Paul Blackburn who was 4-7 with a 4.43 ERA last season.

Oakland may have the starting pitching advantage in this game but Cleveland has the better defense and offense. Cleveland should be able to take care of business against this Oakland team that has one of the lowest payrolls in MLB and has one of if not the worst roster.

Pick: Cleveland Guardians ML
