Seattle Mariners vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
I’ll try the Guardians. Bibee does need to come back from a spotty outing in Cincinnati on June 12, though. In that game Bibee went 5.1 innings with four earned runs during a loss. Prior to that however, Bibee had three earned in 11.1 innings over two starts. As for Woo, he’s gone 12.0 innings over his last pair without giving up an earned run. We’ll have a good pitcher matchup here.
On Tuesday the Guardians played pretty well at the plate. Will Brennan had three hits, one walk and an RBI, while two other batters had multiple hits. McKenzie had a rough night though, and it taxed the bullpen. If Bibee can go six innings or so however, I think Cleveland will be okay.
