Cleveland Guardians vs. Baltimore Orioles Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

The MLB season is in full swing, and we have a compelling matchup on our hands as the Cleveland Guardians square off against the Baltimore Orioles. The Guardians send Cal Quantrill to the mound while the Orioles respond with Kyle Gibson. The Orioles are slightly favored with a –142 moneyline price, and the total is listed at nine. Let’s not forget the Guardians blanked the Orioles 5-0 in their previous encounter, leaving Baltimore hungry for a bounce-back.

Kyle Gibson, in particular, has been in stellar form for the O’s this year. His last outing on the road against the Yankees showcased an impressive performance that defied expectations. However, his track record against Cleveland might be a cause for concern – a 3-10 record with a considerable ERA in 21 appearances. Despite struggles against the Guardians, his recent form could make him the pitcher to side with, especially in the first five innings where the Guardians have shown some offensive shortcomings.

On the flip side, Cal Quantrill for the Guardians, despite a shaky 6.04 xFIP over the last 30 days, is part of a Cleveland squad that has been on a winning spree, taking three of their last four games. The lack of strikeouts from both Gibson (5.19 xFIP in the last 30 days) and Quantrill may result in more balls in play, leading to an exciting, unpredictable contest.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this game, with both teams having the potential to take home the win. Will the Baltimore Orioles manage to bounce back from their previous loss, or will the Cleveland Guardians extend their recent run?
