Cleveland Guardians vs. San Diego Padres: Mike Clevinger in the Spotlight

The upcoming fixture of the ongoing MLB season will be bringing us to live action from the Progressive Field as Cleveland Guardians take on San Diego Padres. With Guardians playing at home, they are the favorites to win; however, Padres, on the other hand, are vouching on Mike Clevinger, who is making a return after months. Mike Clevinger will be up against Zach Plesac. Talking about the head-to-head performances, Cleveland Guardians won 2-1 against Padres in 2017.

Cleveland Guardians have done quite well this season, as they managed to bag 3-7 wins in New York and Oakland. Jose Ramirez has been in the spotlight leading 28 RBI in April. Talking about their form in National League, they are on a role 2-3. Guardians will miss out on James Karinchak, Cody Morris, UT Yu Chang, Carlos Vargas, and Amed Rosario for the upcoming fixture, who might recover shorty. Their win against Oakland Athletics (3-7) has certainly lightened their spirits, making them feel more confident.

San Diego Padres will be looking to carry the momentum forward after winning the series 2-1 against Pittsburgh Pirates. San Diego Padres might end up with Dodgers in the NL West standings, making them quite competitive and favorites for tomorrow. Their star performers will be Eric Hosmer, hitting an average of .382, and Manny Machado at .375. Fernando Tatis, Blake Snell, Wil Myers, Pierce Johnson, Austin Adams, Adrian Morgejon, Michel Baez, and Drew Pomeranz will be missing out tomorrow.

To be honest, it gets tough to predict when teams are playing consistently and out of nowhere, every player is performing and giving his 100%. I will favor the home team, as they have Zoach Plesac with a 3.80 ERA, which is quite impressive. Total is expected to be under 10, and all 9 innings will be competitive.  

• Cleveland Guardians to Win for 2.20
• Total Under 8.5 for 1.88
• T1 total under 5.5 for 2.20
