Cleveland Guardians (25-22) and Cincinnati Reds (24-22) will clash for the third time on Sunday evening at Progressive Field. The Guardians will have their eyes set on taking this series after recovering from a 6-7 defeat on Friday night to win 7-4 on Saturday. Angel Martinez has an excellent outing, hitting a go-ahead, 2-run homer in the seventh inning to lift the Guardians past the Reds. They’re the -175 betting favorites today.
Cincinnati Reds, meanwhile, have shown that they can be a huge threat in this series after crossing the plate 10 times. They’ll be disappointed with last night’s results after their bullpen allowed 5 runs in the last three innings to hand the hosts a win. It was a rollercoaster night that saw them throw a 4-2 lead. The good news for them is that Chris Paddack made his debut, working through five innings.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Backing the Guardians on the moneyline offers a decent value. They look very comfortable playing at home this season, which shows with their 14-10 record. The Guardians will come into this contest in a more reliable pitching position, sending Gavin Williams into the bump. The right-handed pitcher has a solid 5-3 record this season with a 3.74 ERA. Cincinnati will counter that with Brandy Singer, who is 2-3 this season with a 5.79 ERA. He could struggle against Cleveland’s offense, which has been consistently scoring runs this season. However, the visitors remain dangerous on offense and can seize control of the game if they start strongly. Still, we think the Guardians will get the win.
Our prediction for Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds: Over 7.5 runs.
