Cleveland Guardians vs Pittsburgh Pirates : Cleveland Guardians Win (-123)

Odds available at NA at time of publishing

As the Guardians welcome the Pirates to Progressive Field, there's a palpable edge that leans heavily in favor of the home team. Cleveland has been on a roll lately, showcasing a powerful lineup that’s averaging over five runs per game in their last ten outings. Meanwhile, the Pirates have struggled to find their rhythm, particularly against right-handed pitchers, which bodes well for Guardians' starter, who’s boasting an impressive ERA around 3.20 this season. The Guardians' recent form has seen them string together a series of wins, and their home record is solid, making them a tough opponent in front of the home crowd. With the Pirates losing steam in their away games and facing a challenging matchup, it’s hard to see them pulling off an upset. Given these trends, backing Cleveland on the moneyline feels like the right call for this Friday showdown.
