SITUATIONAL SLUG-FEST (HOUSE MONEY Y-T-D!)
(MLB) Cleveland vs. San Diego, 08/23/2022 9:40 PM, Score: 3 - 1
Total: 8.00 | 100.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL SLUG-FEST on the OVER Guardians/Padres.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening.

The Guardians have seen the total go UNDER the number in three of their last four, including in a 2-0 loss at home to the White Sox two nights ago.

The Padres have also seen the total go UNDER the number in three of their last four games, including in back-to-back 2-1 wins here over Washington most recently.

These two rested interleague sides collide on Tuesday and everything points to more of a SLUGFEST, than a DUEL in our opinion.

The visitors hand the ball to Aaron Civale, who is 2-5 with a 5.63 ERA, while the home side counters with Mike Clevinger, who is 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA.

Civale has conceded 70 hits over 64 frames of work to go along with a pedestrian 1.34 WHIP, with opponents hitting .277 vs. him.

Clevinger lasted just four innings vs. the Marlins in his last outing, lucky to earn a no-decision after allowing three runs on six hits. He faced the Guardians on May 4th and allowed three runs and three walks over four innings.

The overall situation points to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
