Hot off a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Guardians face a more formidable opponent beginning Friday in Game 1 of their weekend series against the Kansas City Royals at Progressive Field.
The Guardians improved to .500 at 6-6 after completing a sweep of the White Sox. Cleveland relied on their pitching to contain Chicago’s offense, holding them to only three runs in the three-game series. The Guardians are pitching a 3.93 ERA while batting .212 with 44 runs this season.
The Royals moved one game above .500 with a 7-6 slate after claiming their fourth win in five games. Boasting a 3.23 ERA, Kansas City bullpen stepped up to the challenge and delivered after starter Michael Wacha allowed two earned runs in 5.1 innings. Daniel Lynch IV got the win while Bobby Wit Jr. came up with a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the 7th inning of a 3-2 win in the series finale.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Royals have a strong chance to win Game 1 if projected starter Kris Bubic delivers another impressive outing on the mound. Bubic has yet to surrender an earned run after 16.6 innings pitched. Meanwhile, Tanner Bibee will try to bounce back from a disastrous start in a 4-10 loss to the LA Angels, where he allowed seven earned runs in 4.0 innings. Kansas City are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against Cleveland, but they are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games. Our betting prediction for Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Guardians: Royals will win.
