Baltimore Orioles vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

I'm not running to the window to get behind Joey Cantillo and just his second career MLB appearance. The Orioles and Zach Eflin are the more trustworthy option in this game. However, we're getting plus money with the Guardians, the most profitable team for MLB bettors, and it's not even close. A $100 MLB bettor is up over $1,600 on the season, backing the Guardians. The more profitable price at home, I have to side with the Guardians in game 3 on Saturday.
