I’m on the under in this game. This is a bonafide pitcher’s duel as far as I’m concerned. Gavin Williams has been a strikeout machine facing a bad KC team, while Noah Cameron was arguably AL Pitcher of the Month in August and has been pitching well in his own right. Cleveland’s played in a ton of low-scoring games down the stretch as well so give me the under here.
