Cleveland Guardians vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction

I’m on the Guardians in this one. I still think that Williams is a solid starting option for the Guardians and Cleveland’s just playing the more trustworthy baseball right now. Urena is the ace of the Angels’ rotation, but I still think the Angels are just delaying the inevitable at this point and are going to start to falter so give me the Guardians in this one.
