The Cleveland Guardians and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet Monday in MLB action from Dodger Stadium. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Cleveland Guardians vs. Los Angeles Dodgers prediction.
The Cleveland Guardians will trot out Parker Messick for the start here and Messick was 3-1 with a 2.72 ERA and 38 strikeouts last season. This will be Messick’s first career start against the Dodgers. Roki Sasaki will get the nod for the Dodgers here and was 1-1 with a 4.46 ERA and 28 strikeouts last season. This will be Sasaki’s first career start against Cleveland.
The Cleveland Guardians come into this game looking to shake off their 8-0 loss at the hands of the Mariners on Sunday night to slip to 2-2 on the year. After this series, the Guardians will head home for a series against the Chicago Cubs.
Chase DeLauter leads the Guardians with 6 hits including a team-high 4 home runs and 5 RBIs while Rhys Hoskins has added 3 hits with a double and Brayan Rocchio has 2 hits with a double and 2 RBIs. Steven Kwan has 4 hits as well and Daniel Schneemann has a double while Kyle Manzardo, Bo Naylor and Gabriel Arias all have base knocks as well this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers come into this game looking to add on to their 3-2 win over Arizona last time out to sit at 3-0 on the year. After this series, the Dodgers will head on the road for a series against the Washington Nationals.
Freddie Freeman, Miguel Rojas and Will Smith all have 3 hits with Freeman logging a double and an RBI while Smith has a team-high 2 home runs and 5 RBIs. Mookie Betts has 2 hits with a home run and 4 RBIs and Andy Pages has a homer and 3 RBIs as well on the year. Shohei Ohtani’s posted just one hit up to this point in the season.
I’m on the Guardians here. I just think the Dodgers were playing with fire a little bit against the Diamondbacks and I don’t think they get as lucky this time around. The Guardians are still a solid team with a quality option here in Messick, and Roki Sasaki still has work to do to show me he can be a starter level pitcher at this level. Give me the Guardians.
