Why The Guardians Could Cover The Spread
The Guardians have been lacking consistency over their last 20 outings and can't seem to string a number of wins together. They haven't won three consecutive games in over a month and will have to pick up the pace to keep up with the Minnesota Twins. Jose Ramirez continues to be their batting leader and Steven Kwan has been heating up over the last ten games. Last night, he hit a homer to give them the lead, but they ultimately squandered it later in the game.
Tanner Bibee trots out at 2-2 with a 3.91 ERA thru 48.1 innings pitched. He hasn't been so hot on the road this year and his last start saw him get the loss against the Padres. He's 0-1 on the road with a 5.75 ERA and will hope to put the Guardians in a position to keep this game close. They have a great bullpen this year and could have a chance to win as underdogs if they can see a good pitching start.
Why The Diamondbacks Could Cover The Spread
The Diamondbacks are playing great baseball and have become one of the most exciting teams to watch in the MLB. While they dropped three of four games to the Phillies just recently, Arizona has gone 7-3 in the last 10 games and will look for the series sweep. Their pitching has been great against the Guardians and they've been able to find the long ball in this series. Last night, they notched three homers in the dominant win.
Their pitcher will be Zach Davies with his 1-2 record and 5.46 ERA thru 28.1 innings pitched. Once one of their aces, Davies will look to get a better handle this season and try to come up with some quality starts for his team. His last start saw them lose to the Phillies 15-3, so he's hoping he can keep his ERA lower in this one. If Davies can have even an OK start, they should have the confidence to sweep this series.
Final Guardians-Diamondbacks Prediction & Pick
The Diamondbacks are playing great right now and have looked very good during the last ten games. The Guardians are lacking the same consistency, but will be the favorites to get back on track in this matchup. For the prediction, let's go with Arizona to get it done as they sweep the series.
Final Guardians-Diamondbacks Prediction & Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks (-108)
