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.
