Money Line: -104.00 Cleveland (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians.
I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Guardians just lost 2 games in a row but they have looked really good in their games lately and I think they will bounce back here. Even in their 2 losses against the White Sox, they kept both games close and put up a ton of runs in the entire series. They were doing that before the All Star break too and I expect them to continue that here with the Red Sox struggling lately. The Red Sox were just swept by the Blue Jays in their most recent series but they have also lost 5 games in a row now. I think they have entered into a bad slump at the moment, and their pitching has been their weakest link lately. They have given up a ton of runs in their games lately, giving up 10+ runs in 3/5 of their previous 5 games and they have given up so many runs lately that they would probably average 10+ runs per game given up in those 5. I think the Red Sox are going to continue to struggle here until they solve the issues they have with their bullpen and pitching in general. Nick Pivetta (8-7, 4.50 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great this year. He looked really bad at the beginning of the year, he started to pitch a lot better in May and June but now he has regressed again and I think he is going to continue pitching the way he has lately. He gave up 7 runs in his most recent start but he has been so bad that he has also given up 6+ runs in 3 starts in a row now. The Guardians have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately and I think they will do it again here between Pivetta and the Red Sox bullpen. Zach Plesac (2-7, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked a lot better in his starts lately. He has looked a bit shaky lately but he just had a great June and has only had 1 start in his previous 6 where he was charged with more than 2 runs. I think he is going to shut down the Red Sox lineup here which has already been struggling lately. I like the Guardians to win this game.
T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians.
