Cleveland Guardians ML over Arizona Diamondbacks (+108)
At this point in the season, it's always worth a look when the Guardians are at plus-money odds. Cleveland has one of the best teams in baseball this season because of their efficient lineup and top-tier bullpen, and tonight, the Guardians are worth more than just a look. The Guardians are taking on Arizona's ace Zac Gallen, who has had a rough season because of injuries. Gallen returned to the rotation at the end of June, but he hasn't looked like his normal self in the last month. The right-hander allowed a .262 xBA with a 10% walk rate and 7 barrels in 7 starts since coming back.
Plus, it's hard to forget his drastic home and away splits. Gallen has always had trouble pitching on the road in his young career and that could be exploited by the Guardians tonight. Since Cleveland has a rested bullpen to back Logan Allen tonight, I like taking a chance with the Guardians tonight as underdogs.
