Baltimore Orioles vs. Cleveland Guardians Prediction

I’m on the Guardians here. I just think that this is a bad matchup for the Orioles facing a lefty, as they’ve been one of the weaker lineups in baseball all season when it comes to facing southpaws and I think that the Orioles could struggle again in this one. The Guardians are still a decent lineup that’s been trending in the right direction in recent weeks and I just think they’re the play at this price. Give me Cleveland here.
