Cleveland Guardians vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’d lean toward the Guardians nd the plus money, as there’s always value in getting a more favorable price with a contender. However, I’m siding with the over. Cecconi has been hittable, with a 4.83 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, and a 5.21 ERA and a .285 batting average allowed in 48.1 road innings. Gasser has a 6.38 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 18.1 innings and has allowed 13 hits and 7 runs in his last 10 innings. Two pitchers that are in rocky form. Expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
