Trends
Seattle is 4-8 in their last 12 games and 0-4 in their last 4 Sunday games. The over is 5-1 in Seattle’s last 6 Sunday games. Cleveland is 17-4 in their last 21 game three’s of a series and 5-3 in their last 8 home games. The over is 8-4 in Cleveland’s last 12 home games. Seattle is 6-0 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings in Cleveland.
Pick
Seattle has won the first two games of this series and will be looking for the series sweep in this matchup. Seattle will have George Kirby on the mound, who allowed four runs over 4.1 innings pitched against the Angels in his first start. Cleveland will start Zach Plesac, who got shelled by the Athletics in his first outing. Both of these starting pitchers struggled in their first starts of the year, but I have to give the edge to Seattle in this matchup. I cannot trust Plesac after allowing six runs to Oakland last time out.
