Prediction
Pick: Steven Kwan to score Over 0.5 runs (-135)
Reasoning: Steven Kwan has been a consistent performer for the Guardians and has a high on-base percentage. With Kwan's ability to get on base and the Tigers' pitching staff's occasional struggles, Kwan has a good chance of scoring at least one run in this game. Given the Guardians' need for a win and Kwan's recent form, this prop bet offers good value.
