Head To Head

This is the first meeting between the two teams this season

Cleveland Guardians Form

Cleveland enter this series looking to rebound from a defeat to Kansas City that ended a three-game winning run.

The Guardians saw their form dip during the second half of August as they suffered six defeats during a seven-game spell.

They rallied with 13-5 and 4-2 wins over Texas, only to then lose three straight meetings with Kansas City, 4-3, 9-4 and 6-1.

Cleveland avoided being swept though, winning the final meeting 7-5, and they then sandwiched a 3-0 defeat to Pittsburgh with 10-8 and 6-1 victories over the Pirates.

The Guardians backed up those successes with 4-2 and 7-1 wins at Kansas City, although they did lose the series finale, 4-1.

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles come into this series on the back of a loss, but in excellent form with 12 wins in their previous 15 games.

The Dodgers began this sequence with a five-game win streak, which was ended by a 9-8 defeat when they hosted Tampa Bay.

They rebounded to take the next meeting 3-1, and then bounced back from a 3-2 defeat to Baltimore with 6-4 and 6-3 victories.

Los Angeles went out on the road after that and won the first two games in Arizona, 10-9 and 8-6, before bouncing back from a 14-3 defeat to the Diamondbacks with an 11-6 win.

The Dodgers then split a two-game series with the Los Angeles Angels, winning 6-2 before losing 10-1.

Verdict

CLE Guardians @ LA Dodgers

Los Angeles have been piling up wins for weeks and remain a reliable pick at home, so we expect a Dodgers victory in this one.
