The top of the Guardians' lineup failed to respond; the Guards had some chance of contending for the last AL Wild Card, but their five-game losing streak appears to have left them with no chance. The Guardians were swept in Texas, but they hope for a bounce back when they host the Rays in Cleveland.
The Rays, meanwhile, are coming off a win in their previous series against the Cardinals. Tampa lost the first game of that series 4-7 and won the second 10-6 and the third 7-2. In Sunday's series, Pepiot pitched five innings, while Morel hit a solo home run, but Caminero was once again the hero, hitting a grand slam that was his 37th of the season. Speedster Simpson also hit an RBI triple.
This will be the first of six games the Rays and Guardians will play in a two-week span. Ian Seymour, a pitcher recently returning to the major leagues and recalled from Triple-A after the Rays traded Litell to the Reds, will start Monday's game for Tampa.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
Tanner Bibee will start Monday's game against the Rays; he last faced Tampa in 2024; he struck out nine in six innings but allowed two home runs.
As for the Guardians' bats, it's concerning that Kwan didn't get a hit in his last seven at-bats, which is unusual for him, who also went six games without a multi-hit game.
The Rays appear to be in a favorable position to take advantage of the Guardians' losing streak, especially given the number of home runs Rays hit in their previous series.
Our prediction for Rays vs Guardians is: Rays ML.
