In this Guardians vs Angels Prediction, the Guardians are coming as -135 road favorites. I like the Guardians to keep rolling in this one, as they have been red-hot making a push for a wild card spot. They have won six straight and are putting the red-hot Joey Cantillo on the mound, who has given up just one run in each of his last three starts. He will go up against a struggling Grayson Rodriguez, who has been atrocious at home with an 8.82 ERA and the Angels have both a far weaker offense and bullpen lately. Take the Guardians to win this one.
