FanDuel offers a profit of $100 on a $116 bet if the Cleveland Guardians draw first blood in their four-game series with the Kansas City Royals beginning Monday at Progressive Field.
Current Form:
The Guardians are staging a last-gasp push toward the playoffs after winning four of their last five games, including a three-game win streak. Cleveland has demonstrated impeccable pitching in their last five games, during which they have logged an outstanding 1.67 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and .276 OBP. Slade Cecconi is slated to start on Monday, six days after giving seven earned runs over 5.1 innings in a 7-11 loss to Boston last September 2.
The Royals could not complete a sweep of the Minnesota Twins after dropping Sunday’s series finale, 1-5. Kansas City has delivered solid numbers on the mound over the last five games with a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. But other than their 11-run outburst in Game 2 against Minnesota, Kansas City has been mid offensively as they have averaged 4.5 runs per game over the five-game stretch. Ryan Bergert, who commands a 2.28 ERA over his last five mound appearances, is scheduled to start on Monday.
