Guardians vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers haven’t won two straight games in two weeks, and they have nothing to play for this weekend. Latz has been incredible this month, allowing 12 hits and 3 runs in 17 innings, but he usually doesn’t go deep into games. The Guardians have lost just 4 games since September 5, and they need to keep winning to lock up the AL Central. Cantillo has allowed just 25 hits and 5 runs in his last 34 innings. The Guardians have won 7 of Cantillo’s last 11 starts. Must win game for the Guardians, and they’ve been so hot this month, there’s no reason to believe they’ll fall short. Give me the Guardians.
