The Cleveland Guardians (23-25) face the Baltimore Orioles (23-32) in their series rubber match at Camden Yards, with first pitch at 1:35 pm ET. The Orioles won Saturday's game 5-4 behind home runs from Trey Mancini, Austin Hays, and Rougned Odor.

Betting Lines:

  • Guardians: -112 (Favorites)
  • Orioles: +102
  • Run line: Baltimore +1.5 (-160)

Pitching Matchup:

  • Guardians: Zach Plesac (1-4, 4.93 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 33 K in 49.1 IP)
  • Orioles: TBA

Key Stats:

  • Guardians are 5-1 in last 6 games vs Orioles
  • Andres Gimenez batting .308 with 6 HR, 26 RBI
  • Orioles rank 24th in runs (213) and 18th in home runs (50)
  • Anthony Santander leads Orioles with 9 HR, 30 RBI
  • Guardians rank 3rd in day game runs (129)

The Guardians look to win the series behind Plesac, who allowed just one earned run in his last start. Their offense has been particularly strong in day games, which could be key against an Orioles team that's shown improvement but still sits 16 games back in their division. Cleveland will rely on Jose Ramirez's power and Andres Gimenez's consistent hitting to secure the series victory.
