Kansas City at Cleveland

August 29, 2026

4:10 PM Eastern

I was on Cleveland's moneyline last week against the Angels, and the Guardians delivered as they have for most of this month. Cleveland has now won seven straight, and Foster Griffin has been a big part of it, riding a 3.19 ERA into this one after winning each of his last three starts. Kansas City counters with Daniel Lynch IV, who has been sharp in a limited role: a 2.93 ERA, though he has yet to complete five innings in any of his four starts this year, which puts extra weight on both bullpens today. Neither offense has done much scoring the past week, and a red-hot Cleveland team getting a look at a Kansas City lineup that isn't scoring much itself is a spot where the total tends to play under. I like the pitching on both sides more than either lineup right now. Back the UNDER this afternoon.

Cleveland at Kansas City

May 6, 2026

7:40 PM Eastern

Cleveland looks to get back on track as the Royals will start Cole Ragans, who is 1-4 with a 5.29 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP this season. He has allowed 12 runs on 13 hits in his past three outings in 15 2/3 innings pitched. Kansas City was fortunate to get a 7-6 win over Seattle in his last start as he surrendered four runs in 5 1/3 innings on Friday. Ragans lasted only two-thirds of an inning on April 8 against the Guardians, who ended up winning 10-2. The Royals are 8-for-54 for a .148 batting average with a .207 on-base percentage against Joey Cantillo, who gave up one earned run in 5 2/3 innings in one appearance against the Royals so far in 2026. Take the Guardians.
