Why The Guardians Could Cover The Spread
The Guardians will have their best pitcher on the mound. Bieber has a 2.61 ERA through 51 2/3 innings pitched. Bieber has gone at least six innings in seven of his eight starts. He has also not given up more than three runs in any of his starts this season. Opponents are batting just .229 off Bieber this season. With Bieber on the mound, the Guardians will always have a chance to win.
Cleveland will be going up against a struggling pitcher. Lynn has allowed the 54 hits in 44 1/3 innings this season. He has a 7.51 ERA, as well. He has given up at least four earned runs in six of his eight starts this season. Cleveland does not score a lot, but they have a chance to put up some runs in this game.
Why The White Sox Could Cover The Spread
As mentioned before, the Guardians do not score many runs. In fact, they score under four runs per game. They have hit the fewest home runs, the least amount of hits and the second worst batting average. With the struggles Lynn has had, there is a great opportunity for him to have a shutdown game. Lynn does give up a lot of hits, but with the lack of scoring from the Guardians, the White Sox should be able to keep this game close. If Lynn can pitch well, the White Sox will cover this spread.
Final Guardians-White Sox Prediction & Pick
This game will come down to who has the worse game; Lance Lynn or the Guardians offense. Expect Lynn to give in just enough for the Guardians to build a lead and cover the spread.
Final Guardians-White Sox Prediction & Pick: Guardians -1.5 (+126), Under 8.5 (-115)
