Preview

The Cleveland Guardians will host the Boston Red Sox to play a 3-game series at the Progressive Field. The Guardians won their last series 2-1 against the Twins while the Red Sox swept the Tigers.

Cleveland Guardians

The Guardians get here with a 36-29 record and have won 8 of their last 10 games. The team is averaging 4.6 runs per game and allowing 4 runs. Jose Ramirez leads the team batting for .302 avg, 16 home runs and 62 RBI. 

Shane Bieber leads the pitching staff with a 3.01 ERA, 84 strikeouts and 3 wins recorded for the Guardians.

Probable Pitcher:  Cal Quantrill (4-4, 3.77 ERA)

Quantrill will be on the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Guardians. On Saturday, Quantrill took the loss against the Dodgers after pitching five innings and giving up five runs on ten hits, one walk, and four strikeouts. He has a record of 0-1 with an ERA of 4.15 and 12 strikeouts in 2 appearances against the Red Sox in his career.

Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox get to this game with a 39-31 record and have won 8 of their last 10 games. The team is averaging 4.7 runs and allowing 4 runs per game. Rafael Devers is leading the team with 16 home runs and 43 RBI while JD Martinez is batting for .335 AVG. 

Nick Pivetta leads the team with 7 wins recorded with a 3.31 ERA and 82 strikeouts.

Probable Pitcher:  Nick Pivetta (7-5, 3.31 ERA)

Pivetta will be on the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Red Sox. Pivetta took the win against the Cardinals on Sunday by striking out 10 batters in seven innings while allowing just one run on four hits and four walks.

BETTING TRENDS

Boston are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games on the road.

Boston are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Cleveland.

The total has gone OVER in 10 of Cleveland's last 15 games against Boston.

Cleveland are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home.

Prediction

These are two of the top offenses in the American League and they have been on fire lately but the difference on this game will make it the pitching. Quantrill was pounded by the Dodgers in his last start and is holding a 4.15 ERA in 2 starts against the Red Sox in his career. Nick Pivetta has allowed only 2 runs in his last 15 innings pitched so he should get here with confidence to face the Guardians power offense and the Red Sox won't have any trouble scoring against Quantrill. Take the Red Sox.
