Randy’s Picks
Game 1 I'm going to side with the Guardians, as Tanner Bibee has been sharp through 22.1 innings with his 1.03 WHIP. Max Scherzer is still trying to work his way back, and he has an ERA over 7 in his last 2 starts. In game 2, I'm going to give the Mets the edge. Justin Verlander is still getting his footing, but he's under the lights and going up against a Guardians' offense that's not scoring. Shane Bieber's numbers drop on the road, and current Mets have had success against him in a small sample size.
