The Cleveland Guardians look to further solidify their hold at the top spot of the American League Central, as they take on the surging Chicago Cubs on Tuesday at Progressive Field. After suffering seven straight losses, the Guardians responded by winning three games in the row over the weekend to keep the No.1 spot in the AL Central despite receiving constant pressure from the Minnesota Twins, who are now just 3.5 games behind. Prior to a 9-8 loss to the Guardians on Monday, the Cubs had won seven of their last 10 games, putting them in contention for one of the postseason wildcard berths in the National League. The Cubs are trailing the St. Louis Cardinals (60-59) by 1.5 games and the Milwaukee Brewers (67-51) by 9 games heading into the homestretch mark of the 2024 MLB season.
Pitchers Matchup: Cubs RHP Javier Assad (5-3, 3.24 ERA) vs. Guardians LHP Matthew Boyd (5-5, 5.45 ERA – 2023 stats).

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
I have the Cubs getting some payback on Tuesday, with Javier Assad getting the win again. Assad has led Chicago to victory in his last four starts while keeping his ERA at 1.80 over his last five mound appearances. The Cubs may be 2-6 against the Guardians in their previous 8 head-to-head encounters, but four of those victories were decided by a mere one run. Moreover, there’s no telling what the Guardians will get from Matthew Boyd in his first start this season after spending most of the year in the minor league rehabilitating his surgically repaired shoulder. Our betting prediction for Chicago Cubs vs. Cleveland Guardians: Bet on the Cubs to win, +130, at BetMGM.
Prediction:
Cubs will win
