My Prediction
Cleveland Guardians by 2Well, let's take a look at this MLB rumble taking place at Progressive Field. We'll be keeping a keen eye on the White Sox's Shane Smith itching to show off on the mound, while Ben Lively hopes to regain his last season's form for the Guardians. Lively was sporting a 3.924 ERA with almost 7 strikeouts per nine innings last season, which is worth a tip of the hat.
Turning the spotlight to the hitters, the White Sox lineup is led by Korey Lee, Andrew Benintendi, and Brooks Baldwin, with Nick Maton being their homerun leader this moment, though I'd argue his .150 average leaves something to be desired. The Guardians bat with a different tempo, banking on the likes of Steven Kwan, whose .353 batting average might ignite some worries for the opposing fans, accompanied by Jose Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo, who has been the team's RBI leader.
Looking at previous encounters, the Guardians seems to have a bit of upper hand, edging out the White Sox in recent games. Still, both teams are having a rough start this season with less than stellar win-loss records. Having said that, recent losings for both teams might foretell a tough match, probably like watching a turtle race but, who am I to judge?
Rolling up all these factors and more, it's time for Albert's Prediction: Cleveland Guardians by 2.
