Cleveland Guardians will come into this series opener as a favorite, and the hosts will look to keep things going. The Cleveland Guardians completed a sweep against the Minnesota Twins in their last series. In that set, the Cleveland Guardians picked up a 3-2, 11-4, and 5-2 wins. In fact, the Cleveland Guardians have had a 30-17 record this season. However, this team is seated 3rd in the American League standings and top of the Central Division.

The New York Mets gave a strong performance against the Miami Marlins in their finale to avoid a sweep. In the first two games of that series, New York Mets lost 6-0 and 10-9, but a 3-7 win in the finale was enough to see them pick something.
