The offense is ranked 1st in the league, while the pitching is ranked 6th. This is a team that can really score, and they are going to need the offense to find success here.

Cleveland Guardians vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
Bibee has sure been good this season, and he’s going to continue that success here. In his last start he went six innings giving up zero runs, and he’s going to lockdown here. Even against a good offense with Baltimore, Bibee is going to have success. The Guardians might not run up the score, but they are going to have a couple of runs scored against Povich, and that will be the difference. Back the Guardians on the money line.
