The MLB season continues this evening with a game between two of the better teams in the American League with the Baltimore Orioles and the host Cleveland Guardians. The game is scheduled for a 7:15 p.m. start time and it will be televised live on FOX and MLB.tv. Currently the Major League Baseball Odds for the contest have the Orioles listed as the favorites to pick up the win on the road.
MLB Odds
Baltimore -120, Cleveland EVEN
Total: O 8.5 runs (-107), U 8.5 runs (-113)
Couple really solid teams here facing off tonight in Cleveland. The Orioles are turning the ball over to newcomer Zach Eflin, this will be his second start with the team after being acquired from Tampa Bay late last month. Eflin won his first start, beating Toronto where he tossed six innings and allowed three earned runs.
I think Eflin is a great addition to this Baltimore staff. While he doesn't have the best numbers, he can go out there and give you 5-plus innings per start and keep you in the game. I think that happens again tonight.
Cleveland's Joey Cantillo is a youngster with not a ton of Major League experience. But the Guardians need to give him the ball tonight as they look to rely on the bullpen. Cantillo has made just one appearance with the big club this year, he surrendered two homers to the Phillies back earlier this week. He tossed 75 pitches in 3 1/3 innings as well.
If that happens again tonight, I'd expect Baltimore to have a handful of runs on the board.
Cleveland has won four of the previous five games between the teams this season. The Guardians have been hot, winning eight of ten and they're owners of the best record in baseball and are really strong at home (35-15). Lots of reasons to back them tonight, but I will take the Orioles and Eflin on the road.
