Texas Rangers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
The Guardians are going to find success in this game. I don’t trust Jon Gray, even though the stats aren’t all that bad. The person I do trust is Ben Lively, who is going to have another strong stat. In his last start, he gave up only two runs, and he’s going to dominate here. The Rangers are going to have no answer, and Cleveland is going to get the job done. Back the Guardians on the money line.
