The Cleveland Guardians and Texas Rangers face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at Globe Life Field. 

The Guardians come into this game with an 83-67 record overall and they are coming off another win on Thursday. The pitching was strong giving up only two runs and that was enough to secure the win. The Guardians have leaned on their pitching this season giving up 3.94 runs per games which is 9th in the league. In this game, Cleveland is going to need to get a strong start. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Texas Rangers who sit with a 65-84 record overall but they have won two games in a row. The pitching has given up only five runs over the last two games. The Rangers are averaging 4.46 runs per game which is 11th in baseball. The pitching has really let them down and is ranked 22nd. Adolis Garcia has hit 25 home runs and driven in 96 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Rangers will be Jon Gray who sits with a 7-7 record and an ERA of 3.80. In his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays, he went 4.1 innings giving up two hits and two runs. 

On the mound for the Guardians will be Cody Morris who sits with an 0-2 record and an ERA of 2.20. In his last start against the Twins, he went six innings giving up six hits and one run. 

The Rangers are 0-4 in Gray’s last four starts. The Rangers are 1-4 in their last five home games against a team with a winning record. The under is 4-0 in Morris last four starts. The over is 4-0 in Grays last 4 starts when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Runs are going to be very hard to come by in this game. Gray sits with an ERA of 3.80 while Morris is coming off a start where he gave up only one run. Both of these offenses have been inconsistent and they will both struggle to score here. Back the under to cash here with ease.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
