The Guardians have had a mixed season, struggling at the plate with a .231 batting average, which ranks 26th in the league. Their offensive output has been limited, with 455 runs scored, placing them 16th overall. However, their pitching has been a bright spot, with a solid 3.92 ERA, ranking 14th in MLB.

Prediction

With both teams having solid pitching performances lately, and given the Guardians' struggles to score runs, I predict a lower-scoring game. The total set at 7.0 seems reasonable considering both starters have proven to be effective in limiting runs. Flaherty’s impressive 2.95 ERA and Bibee’s 3.50 ERA indicate that runs will be hard to come by. Thus, I recommend taking the UNDER on the total runs.

Pick: Under 7.0 runs
