Cleveland Guardians Form
Cleveland came into this series having cooled off after a hot start to the season, but still boasting a strong record of 10-5.
The Guardians opened up the season with three consecutive wins in Oakland, but missed out on a series sweep as they dropped the final meeting.
They then rebounded from losing the series opener in Seattle with back-to-back wins over the Mariners, before winning back-to-back games in Minnesota.
Cleveland finally played their home-opening series after that and sandwiched a 7-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox with 4-0 and 7-6 victories.
The Guardians then avoided being swept by the New York Yankees as they responded to 3-2 and 8-2 defeats with a 7-6 win.
Boston Red Sox Form
Boston entered this series with Cleveland having snapped a four-game skid with back-to-back victories.
The Red Sox split the season-opening series in Seattle, before heading to Oakland to sweep the A’s over three games.
They then wrapped up their season-opening road trip with a couple of wins in Los Angeles, beating the Angels 8-6 and 12-2 either side of a 2-1 loss.
Boston failed to keep that good run going in their opening home series though, as they were swept by Baltimore, losing 7-1 7-5 and 9-4.
The Red Sox’s losing sequence hit four games with a 7-0 shutout loss to the Los Angeles Angels, but they finally stopped the rot last weekend with 7-2 and 5-4 wins to edge that series.
Verdict
Tanner Houck is off to a strong start for Boston, while Ben Lively's road record dating back to last season is rough, so we like the Red Sox in this one.
