It has been a slow start for the Cleveland Guardians, entering Saturday with a losing record after winning the American League Central last season and will look to get things trending upwards on Saturday when they host the Los Angeles Angels.
Los Angeles Angels (-115, 8.5) vs. Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians send Cal Quantrill to the mound, who seems to do just enough to get the team to victory as his numbers fall short of extraordinary with a 3.89 ERA with 2.7 walks and 4.8 strikeouts per nine innings while allowing three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts.
Despite lacking eye-popping numbers, the Guardians are 21-3 in Quantrill's last 24 regular season starts, much of it thanks to a bullpen on the backend that has the best ERA in the league since the 2022 All-Star Break and second in ERA for the 2023 season.
