Texas Rangers at Cleveland Guardians Prediction

Heading into Monday’s matchup between Cleveland and Texas, the Guardians are the slight favorite to pick up the win. On the season, Cal Quantrill has the edge in ERA, but his WHIP of 1.19 is right in line with Jon Gray at 1.22. However, I see the Guardians having the edge on offense, as they are 6th in team batting average vs right-handed pitching compared to Texas at 24th. I like Cleveland on the moneyline.
