Guardians vs Angels Prediction
Los Angeles comes into this series looking to snap a five-game losing streak, but they have been decent on the road, where they are 15-15 so far this year. Cleveland has dropped three of their last four games, but they are 15-10 at home. The Guardians have had some trouble with their pitching staff recently, and they are starting Ortiz, who has allowed three earned runs or more in two of his last four starts. LA is going with Soriano, who has allowed three earned runs in three of his last four outings. I think we could see some offense from both teams against these starters, so I like the over here.
