Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals Prediction: An entertaining contest ahead

On Friday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Progressive Field, featuring a matchup between the Kansas City Royals and the Cleveland Guardians.

The Cleveland Guardians have won their last three games by a combined score of 9 runs, and they have won their last ten games by a score of 4 runs or more five times. The Guardians have been victorious in their last four games when they have scored four or more runs. The Guardians are led in hits and runs batted in by Steven Kwan, who has 92 of them and 26 RBI, while Jose Ramirez and Amed Rosario have 177 hits and 85 RBI between them. Tanner Bibee is scheduled to pitch, and he has a record of 5-2 with a 3.46 earned run average and 67 strikeouts so far this season. In their past 13 games played at home, the Cleveland Guardians have a record of 9-4, but in their last 7 games played during game 1 of a series, they have a record of 2-5. The total has gone under in 24 of the last 36 home games for the Cleveland Guardians.

The Kansas City Royals have only managed to score three or fewer runs in six of their previous ten games, including all three of their most recent contests. The Kansas City Royals have now dropped seven consecutive games in which they scored three runs or fewer. The Kansas City Royals are led by Bobby Witt Jr., who has 87 hits and 45 RBI. Salvador Perez and MJ Melendez have combined for 135 hits and 71 RBI. This is Jordan Lyles' turn to pitch, and so far he has a record of 1-11 with a 6.68 earned run average and 64 strikeouts. In his career versus the Guardians, Lyles has a record of 2-1 with a 4.67 earned run average and 13 strikeouts. The Royals have a record of 21-59 in their previous 80 games played away from home, while their overall record in their last 88 games is 25-63. In the last five games the Kansas City Royals have played, the over is 5-0.

The Kansas City Royals are still unable to put together whole offensive drives, and Jordan Lyles has been a complete and total disaster. Lyles has a record of 1-11, and he has a 6.68 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP to go along with it. Just plain awful to look at. Tanner Bibee's performance has been good, with a 3.46 earned run average and 1.26 walks allowed per nine innings. The Cleveland Guardians, too, have their share of problems, but at least they play their home games in Cleveland. As a result, this ought to be a walk in the park for the home team, and betting on the over is an additional significant option to consider sticking with.
