The Cleveland Guardians will go for the kill on Sunday, aiming for a series sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates after claiming the win in the first two games.
The Guardians moved two games above .500 with an 11-5 record, thanks to a spectacular mound appearance from Ben Lively, who smothered the Pirates in 5.1 innings in a 3-0 win on Saturday. Cleveland improved their ERA to 4.01 this season while batting .242 with 4.2 runs per game.
The Pirates absorbed their second straight loss and plummeted to 8-14, last in the NL Central Division, following Saturday’s loss. Paul Skenes, who stepped onto the mound with a sub 2.00 ERA, allowed two earned runs and six hits in 7.0 innings. Apart from their lousy pitching, Pittsburgh’s offense was non-existent on Saturday as they collectively batted 6 for 31 at the plate.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Logan Allen scores another shutout to power the Guardians to a sweep over the Pirates.
Logan Allen is coming off two shutouts over the White Sox and the Orioles. I expect him to assert his dominance on the mound against a struggling Pittsburgh offense that averages barely two runs per game this season. It also doesn’t help that the Pirates will be starting Mitch Keller, who is averaging four earned runs in his last three starts vs. the Guardians. Our betting prediction for the Cleveland Guardians vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Cleveland Guardians will cover -1.5 runs.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
