The Guardians should be favored at home with the quick turnaround and they have the edge on the mound with the more trustworthy Williams. The Guardians are also due for a breakout offensive performance, as they’re better than what they’ve shown. However, the Guardians have been rough at the plate up to this point and they have to show me something before I can back them with confidence. The Guardians can’t hit the baseball. Give me the Royals and the cheaper price.
