Cleveland Guardians (24-22) and Cincinnati Reds (24-21) will clash in the second game of this series at Progressive Field on Saturday evening. The Guardians opened this three-game home series with a surprising 6-7 defeat on Friday night. Cleveland tried to rally late in the game, but the visitors hung on for a win in the Ohio Cup opener. The Guardians will now be keen to even out this series and improve their abysmal record against the Reds.
Cincinnati Reds, meanwhile, have looked comfortable playing on the road this season, which was evident on Friday night. They got another impressive start from Andrew Abbott while Matt McLain hit a homer to help them get a fully deserved 6-1 lead. However, things went a bit sideways when Ashcraft took the mound in the eighth, allowing the Reds back into the game. It wasn’t an entirely convincing performance from the Reds.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Cleveland is the -180 betting favorite, presenting an exciting value. However, we cannot trust them on the moneyline due to their uninspiring head-to-head record. The Guardians lost six of their last seven games against the Reds. Last season, the Reds dominated this fixture, winning five of six. However, they’ll look to make amends today by sending Joey Castillo into the bump. The left-handed pitcher has a solid 3-1 record this season with a 2.98 ERA. He clearly outperforms Chris Paddack, who has a 0-5 record with a high 7.63 ERA. Overall, we see the Guardians running riot in Game 2 with Paddack on the mound.
Our prediction for Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds: Over 7.5 runs.
