Cleveland Guardians vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’ll try Cleveland but I’m probably staying away in reality. Originally we were going to see a different pair of starters here. Ranger Suarez hit the Injured List however, and Xzavion Curry is out of the SP slot in favor of Cantillo’s debut. It’ll be a fun matchup.
On Saturday the Guardians could only muster four team hits to Philly’s 12. That said, Cleveland only had the one bad inning on the mound. This one’s probably going to take a lot of different arms to get through as well; it’ll be another busy bullpen day.
