Probable Pitcher: Cal Quantrill (4-3, 3.38 ERA)
Quantrill will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Guardians. Quantrill earned the win over the Athletics on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters in six innings. He has a 1-2 record with an ERA of 7.30 and 7 strikeouts in 3 appearances against the Dodgers in his career.

Probable Pitcher
Julio Urias (3-6, 2.80 ERA) will take the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Dodgers. Urias gave up two runs on three hits and no walks in six innings against the Giants, but he was tagged with the loss.
BETTING TRENDS
Cleveland are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against LA Dodgers.
Cleveland are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road.
LA Dodgers are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of LA Dodgers' last 6 games against Cleveland.
Prediction
The Dodgers have struggled lately as they have lost 4 of their last 6 games and the offense has been sleeping. They'll send Julio Urias to the mound who has been up and down this season and the Dodgers have lost in 6 oh his last 7 starts. The Guardians are on a 5 game winning streak and have won in the last 3 Quantrill's starts. Quantrill has been pounded by the Dodgers but he hasn't faced them since 2019. With the Dodgers struggling offensively I think the under is the play.
PICK: Under 8.5 (-110)
