Betting Odds: Guardians ML (-125) - Over/Under (8.5)

Pick: Guardians ML (-125)

The Cleveland Guardians and the Cincinnati Reds will play the first game of a quick two game series here on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The Ohio Cup will be up for grabs when these two teams meet throughout the next two days and both teams will get off on the right foot here in Tuesday’s opener. This is a pivotal game for both teams as they will look to take a step closer to winning the Ohio Cup and getting a bragging rights victory over a rival. 

Cleveland has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball throughout the first 60+ games of the season. They come into this game with a respectable lead in the American League Central division, and the second best record in the American League as well. They will look to further extend their lead in the division over the Kansas City Royals with a series opening victory over the Cincinnati Reds here on Tuesday night on the road. Josh Naylor and Jose Ramirez have been powering this Cleveland offense alongside David Fry throughout the early part of the year and they will look to continue that trend throughout this game as well. 

Triston McKenzie will get the start for Cleveland here on Tuesday night and he has had his own struggles throughout the early part of the season. He has been pitching through some issues throughout the first few months of the year and it has certainly affected his performance. He will look to get back to his old self with a solid performance in this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night as Cleveland looks to open up the series where they much-needed win. He comes into this game with a record of 2-3 on the season.

The Cincinnati Reds are a team that came into the year with high expectations. However, they have been underwhelming throughout the first few months of the season. They will look to get things going in the right direction and it starts with grabbing a huge victory over their in-state rivals here on Tuesday night and the opening game of this two game series at home. Cincinnati comes into this game with 32 wins and their first 66 games of the season and they have been meddling around the .500 mark while playing in perhaps the worst division and all of baseball in the process.

They will look to get things going in the right direction and it starts with a bullpen day here on Tuesday night against Cleveland. Not only when they need to find a way to shut down Cleveland’s lineup throughout this game, but they will also need to find a way to break through against Cleveland’s bullpen, which has been the best in the American League throughout the first few months of the year. Cincinnati certainly has the talent in the lineup to get the job done, but they will have to execute at the plate and get the job done on defense to pick up the victory here in this one.

Betting trends to consider in this matchup:

- Cleveland is 21-14 on the road 

- Cincinnati is 17-18 at home 

- Cleveland is 27-14 against teams below .500

I expect the Cleveland Guardians to grab the first victory in this quick two game series against the Cincinnati Reds. With this likely being a bullpen day for the Reds, Cleveland has an advantage on the mound and at the plate as well. I expect guys like Josh Naylor and Jose Ramirez to take full advantage of that in the opening game of this series and lead Cleveland to a victory over Cincinnati on the road here on Tuesday night.
