Who will win Guardians vs Orioles today: Guardians (47%)
For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.
The Cleveland Guardians send Tanner Bibee to the hill tonight, and the right-hander has held his own in past weeks. He owns a 3.69 FIP across his last two starts with zero homers allowed.
Bibee has had some command issues during that span, but he has limited hard contact and now faces a Baltimore Orioles lineup with a 77 wRC+ over the last week.
Cleveland isn’t exactly thriving at the plate either, but Brandon Young owns a 5.22 FIP over his previous 13 2/3 innings while surrendering 1.98 HR/9.
The edge isn’t massive, but the Guards are the cleaner look here against Young, who has been running into trouble lately.
Play this pick up to 50%.
COVERS INTEL: Young has struggled with the long ball at home, allowing 1.54 HR/9. On the road, he's surrendered just 0.89. 
Guardians vs Orioles Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (49%)
I like the Under here. Baltimore is struggling to produce runs, and Cleveland’s 83 wRC+ over its last eight contests isn’t much better. Neither team is showing much home run power, either.
I don’t expect either starter to get lit up, and both bullpens are dealing. The Guardians’ relief corps owns a 2.84 xERA over its previous 34 frames with just 0.79 HR/9 allowed.
Baltimore’s bullpen is also in good form, posting a 3.06 xERA over the last week with very strong command.
Play this pick up to 55%.
Guardians vs Orioles home run prediction: Pete Alonso (22%)
The underlying numbers suggest Pete Alonso presents some value. While the slugger has just one home run over the last week, he owns a 61.1% hard-hit rate and 16.7% barrel rate during that span.
Alonso is squaring up the baseball, even if he has not fully been rewarded yet. Although Bibee has limited homers lately, he has allowed a 40.2% fly-ball rate on the road this season, and the Guardians’ bullpen has also allowed plenty of contact through the air in recent games.
Play this pick up to 25%.
