Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Guardians Predictions 6/6/2023

A team rarely feels like they won after splitting a series, but the Guardians must feel like winners after Sunday’s 2-1 victory over the Twins, leading to a four-game split of the weekend series.

Tristan Mackenzie’s strong performance on Sunday afternoon is what inspires optimism. Mackenzie made his first start after missing the entire season due to a shoulder injury.

He threw five innings, gave up only one hit, and struck out ten batters in the Guardians’ 2-1 victory. Mackenzie made his season debut with 79 pitches.

After a day off on Monday, the Guardians will pitch game one of this series to their ace, Shane Bieber. In 12 starts, Bieber has a 4-3 record and a 3.72 ERA.

With nine quality starts under his belt, Bieber currently has a K/9 rate of 6.4 and a WHIP of 1.29. In four starts at home so far this year, Bieber is 3-1 with a 2.49 ERA, with three of those starts being strong starts.

In his 25.1 innings thrown at home, he gave up 21 hits. In just four innings against the Orioles, Bieber had one of his worst outings of the season, allowing eight hits and seven runs.

The Cleveland pitching staff’s ERA is 3.79 (222 earned runs yielded) and allowed 243 runs this season.

They surrendered 59 home runs and rank eighth in MLB in runs allowed per nine innings (4.15). The Guardians team’s WHIP is 1.254 and their FIP is 4.05 this season. Their ratio of

walks to strikeouts is 7.80 (455 walks against 164 bases on balls). With 497 total hits surrendered, they presently hold the 17th-best pitching staff ranking in the league.

The total went UNDER in 11 of Cleveland’s last 14 matches.
The total went UNDER in 7 of Cleveland’s last 7 matches at home.
The Cleveland Guardians are 1-7 SU in their last 8 matches at home against Boston.

Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Guardians. The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians. In only his third out of 12 starts this season, Bieber is coming off his worst effort of the year.

Bieber excelled with a 3-1 record and a 2.49 ERA at home this year. With only two runs scored in three of their previous five losses, the Red Sox lineup struggled lately.

At Fenway Park earlier this season, Bieber dominated the Red Sox, pitching seven innings in a 5-2 Guardians victory while surrendering just five hits and two runs.

The patient Red Sox lineup was prevented from working the count with his 99 deliveries, 66 of which were strikes.

Since his return to the major leagues, Paxton has pitched effectively, but he is expected to leave the game in the late middle innings, handing it off to a subpar Red Sox bullpen.

The Cleveland Guardians will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
