They enter this game with a 48-45 record overall and have a road record of 23-26. This is the series opener of a 4-game series with the Red Sox on Monday with the series finale of their series against the Chicago White Sox still to be played on Sunday. Their offense ranks 16th in the MLB with a .701 OPS. Shane Bieber is their starting pitcher on Sunday while Zach Plesac is making his start in this game on Monday. He is 2-7 with a 4.02 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 3 Ks on 6 hits through 3.2 IP against the Detroit Tigers. 

 

The Red Sox enter this game on a 4 game losing streak. They lost their last series against the New York Yankees 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 48-47 record overall and have a home record of 23-22. This is the 1st game of a 4-game series with the Guardians on Monday with the 3rd game of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays still to be played on Sunday. Their offense ranks 8th in the MLB with a .729 OPS. Rookie pitcher Brayan Bello is on the mound on Sunday while Nick Pivetta will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Monday. He is 8-7 with a 4.50 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 7 ER, 2 HRs, and 3 BB with 4 Ks on 7 hits through 4.1 IP against the New York Yankees. 

The current betting odds have the Guardians listed as a slight favorite in this game but only as a pick 'em. They have been playing very well recently as they swept the Tigers going into the break and they won 2 games against the White Sox coming out. The Guardians have been scoring a lot of runs in these games as well, and they will likely keep that up here as their offense has been heating up. The Red Sox have also been dealing with a lot of issues when it comes to their starters and their pitching staff, they have allowed so many runs in their last 5 games that they averaged over 10 runs allowed per game in that span. The Guardians are going to have a field day with their hitting in this game and the Red Sox have been cold with their own batters recently as well. Pivetta is starting for the Red Sox but he just allowed 7 runs in his last start and has not been pitching well in his recent starts. Plesac has not been great this season but he has not been bad at all either and has pitched very well in his last few starts. The Guardians have a big advantage with their pitching in this game and they should be able to score runs here as the Red Sox are in a massive slump. The best way to place a bet here is on the Guardians to win this game.
