Guardians vs White Sox Expert Betting Advice
This will be the first series between these division rivals during the 2023 campaign. The Guardians won the 2022 regular season series 11-7, they went 6-3 at Progressive Field and 3-6 in Chicago.
The White Sox are playing the second three game series of a nine game homestand after going 1-2 this weekend against the Houston Astros.
The Guardians are kicking off a six-game road trip that they will wrap up with a three-game series against the New York Mets this weekend.
Cleveland has a tremendous pitching edge in Game 1 with Bieber starting against Lynn and being backed by a bullpen that is far superior. Both teams have similar statistics against right-handed pitching so jump on the Guardians on the money line.
Sticking with Game 1, Lynn has been getting absolutely smashed with 11 home runs allowed in only 44.1 innings of work. Jose Ramirez is 11-32 against Lynn with four home runs and he has hit a double in three straight games.
Take his over on total bases with a sprinkle on his home run prop. I don’t see the edges in the second and third games, so let’s stick with these multiple strong plays that Game 1 offers.
