Cleveland Guardians vs Houston Astros Prediction
I’m leaning Astros. Houston got 6.0 innings and three earned runs from Justin Verlander in the start Saturday. The Astros scored all four of their runs in the first two innings and were able to hang on for the victory. We’ll have a pretty interesting starter matchup Sunday and there will likely be a lot of changes on the mound. Houston has scored four or more runs in three of the last four games however, so there should be enough offense to power out a win here if all goes well.
