Tampa Bay Rays at Cleveland Guardians – 12:07 ET
The first game on the slate is one of my favorite bets for the day. Shane Bieber gets the start for the Guardians, and as we have mentioned in this piece before, he is having an excellent season despite the drop in velocity. While his K-rate dropped significantly, he has also paired that with a reduction in walks. He faces a Tampa offense that has struggled a ton in 2022. Over the last thirty days, they have scored the third-fewest runs in all of baseball. After years of seemingly magically overperforming, their offense finally came back down to earth. This is a fantastic matchup for Bieber, and I expect him to pitch a clean first frame.
