Cleveland Guardians (7-5) and Kansas City Royals (5-6) will meet for the third time in this three-game AL Central series on Wednesday evening at Progressive Field. The Guardians won 2-1 in their latest matchup to bounce back from the 4-2 defeat on the opening day of this series. This win puts them on top of the AL Central standings, 1.5 games ahead of the Royals and the Twins. The Guardians are the moneyline underdogs by +100 tonight.

Kansas City Royals, on the other side of the grass, will be fighting hard to bag this away series and close the gap with the Guardians. They came into the new season with plenty of young talent, although they’ve been somewhat pedestrian in some of their matches. Still, they’re doing a great job in making contact and piling pressure on opposition defences. They have what it takes to win comfortably tonight.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

This matchup has all the hallmarks of being a tight battle. The Guardians will send Garvin Williams to the mound, whereas the Royals will start Noah Cameron. Williams will be making his third start this season after going 1-1 with a respectable 2.04 ERA. Cameron, on the other hand, will make his second start, having gone 1-0 and 1.69 ERA. It’s worth mentioning that the Guardians have been slow in attack this season, averaging only 3.0 runs so far. However, they appear more stable at home, where they’re 3-1 in their last four meetings with the Royals. We’re edging for the Guardians to close this series with a win.

Our prediction for Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals: Under 7.5 runs.
