Cleveland Guardians vs LA Dodgers Prediction

The LA Dodgers are going to get the benefit of the doubt more times than not, especially at home. However, the Cleveland Guardians remain one of the more profitable teams for MLB bettors, and getting them at plus money packs serious value. Teoscar Hernandez got hurt last night, which doesn't help the Dodgers case. Regardless, give me the Guardians and the big plus money, given how they've cashed tickets and fattened pockets all season.
