Cleveland Guardians vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’ll lean toward Cleveland but I could probably go either way. Carrasco needs a bounce-back after his last start (six earned in 5.1 innings). The good news is that he posted just four earned in 10.0 innings over his two starts prior. As for Phillips, he’s coming off a nice effort versus Pittsburgh with 6.0 clean frames.

On Friday the Guardians were able to do enough damage on the scoreboard early and held on for the victory. Cleveland should be in good shape for Saturday, but I can also see Philly storming back to even things up.
