Kansas City Royals vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

The Kansas City Royals are due for a bounce-back performance, but they’ve been horrible over the last week and can’t string together offense. The Cleveland Guardians remain one of the most profitable teams for MLB bettors, and they continue to get these cheap prices. There’s not much of a gap between Tanner Bibee and Brady Singer this season. At this price, I’m not sure how the Guardians are not the pick in Game 2. Give me Cleveland.
