- Analysis
- The Guardians are coming into this game with a 10-8 record this season and they have been playing in some high scoring games recently. They have seen 11+ runs total in each of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 6 games and their offense has been great in these as they have scored 5+ runs in 5 of their last 6 games, but their pitching has also struggled as they have allowed 6+ runs in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. They are going up against a Cardinals team that is 9-8 this season and they have seen 11+ runs total in their last 3 straight games as well. Slade Cecconi is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 0-2 with a 5.74 ERA this season. He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his 3 starts this season and both of those were his only 2 road starts. He also struggled in his only career start against the Cardinals as he allowed 3 earned runs in 4 innings. Dustin May is starting for the Cardinals in this game and he is 1-2 with a 9.45 ERA this season. He is coming off of a rough season last year and he has not started this season well either, allowing at least 6 earned runs in 2 of his 3 starts this season and pitching 4 innings or less in both of those starts. He is coming off of a good start at home, but he is running into a hot Guardians offense here and he has not been great against the Guardians in his career, allowing 4 earned runs in 8 innings against them last season. The Guardians are going to score some runs in this game with that hot offense, but their pitching has not been great recently and this is a Cardinals offense that is also going to score runs at home in this game. Between these two sides, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
