Houston Astros vs. Cleveland Guardians The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians.
Houston had numerous chances to win the game on Friday night but missed them, so they are now forced to use a player from the back end of the rotation.
Although Bielak pitched well in his most recent appearances, his season-long WHIP is over 1.5 and his FIP ERA is 5.22, suggesting that he was rather unlucky.
It follows that he will probably experience some negative regression. Despite having a significantly lower strikeout percentage this season compared to last, Bieber performed admirably.
The Guardians hold the advantage on the mound in this matchup, as they rallied to win the first game of the series. As they win the series, give Cleveland the advantage in this one. Cleveland will win by a predicted score of 6-4.
