Cleveland Guardians vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

Williams has been good for the Guardians this season, but it doesn’t mean much if the offense can’t score. The Guardians have been shutout in three of their last four games. In three of Williams’ last four starts, they’ve scored three or fewer runs. Boyd looks like an all-star with his 2.65 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. In his last 30.1 innings, Boyd allowed 18 hits and six earned runs. In 41 home innings, Boyd has a 2.41 ERA and .212 allowed batting average. I doubt this is a spot where Guardians find their spark offensively. Give me the Cubs on Tuesday night.
