MatchPlug Prediction For Philadelphia Phillies VS Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians perform better at home than they do on the road, and are currently struggling with major offensive issues. Cleveland’s lead in the AL Central is dwindling and they face a challenging series. Ben Lively and Cristopher Sanchez the pitchers have been solid this campaign, but Sanchez has an ERA under three. The Guardians’ offense isn’t exactly trustworthy, so experts back the Phillies to win by at least two runs.
Final Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies below the Spread.
