Our Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Guardians are the clear favorite in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. This goes to the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Lynch IV has made 23 away appearances (1 start), in which he has allowed 10 earned runs over 23.2 innings. Griffin, on the other hand, has made 12 home starts, where he has allowed 28 runs (25 earned) over 69.0 innings.
While neither starter has been lights out this season, there is also the fact that neither team has an elite offensive output. For that reason, our Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals prediction is: Under 8 Total Runs.
