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.
