The Cleveland Guardians, who cheered for the rainout, will challenge Tanner Bibee (4 wins, 1 loss, 3.74 ERA) for his 5th win of the season. Bibee, who won with a stellar 6.1 innings pitched, 3 hits, and 1 run in a home game against Washington on the 1st, has shown a completely different side in his last 4 games. One of the reasons to expect Bibee's pitching is that he's continued his good form with over 6.1 innings and 1 run in two consecutive home games. Cleveland's batting lineup, which scored 8 runs including 2 home runs while targeting Lugo and Long in Wednesday's game, will be pleased to have successfully targeted road warrior Lugo. The timely long hits at key moments could be a strength throughout the series. The bullpen, which held 1 hit and no runs in 3.2 innings, is absolutely superior.
The Kansas City Royals, greatly disappointed by the rainout, will start Brady Singer (4 wins, 2 losses, 2.63 ERA). Singer, who pitched 5 innings and gave up 2 runs on the 26th in an away game against Tampa Bay, has shown he is still a pitcher with home and away differences. It seems unlikely he will easily avenge his 6 runs allowed in 5 innings loss at Cleveland last year. Kansas City's batting lineup, which scored 5 runs from 3 home runs against Tristan McKenzie in Wednesday's game, faced a comeback defeat due to poor performance in the later innings. Bobby Witt Jr.'s bright performance of 2 home runs and 4 RBIs was overshadowed. The bullpen, which allowed 3 runs immediately after Lugo was substituted, is returning to its unfavorable form.
On a day when a bullpen day was forced, the rainout was greatly welcomed. From Cleveland's perspective, they could have even cheered three times. Bibee has been very strong at home recently, and it won’t be easy for Singer, who struggles on the road, to hold off Cleveland’s batting lineup. Most importantly, Cleveland can fully utilize their bullpen. The Cleveland Guardians, superior in strength, are closer to victory.
Predicted score: 6-3 Cleveland victory
Handicap: Cleveland victory
Over/Under: Over
