Cleveland Guardians
This is makeup from the rain-soaked Apple TV Plus game yesterday. This is the second postponement of a Guardians game on Apple TV Plus this season.
The Guardians (51–51) have defeated the Baltimore Orioles three out of four this week and have won seven of their previous ten games. They ended a four-game winning streak when they lost the series finale.
For first place in the AL Central, they are currently 7.5 games behind the struggling Detroit Tigers. Given that the Tigers have dropped 11 of their previous 12 games, this is a fantastic opportunity. For the last AL wildcard position, Cleveland is only 2.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox.
While the Guardians’ pitching has given up a 3.71 ERA over the last ten games, Cleveland is scoring 5.6 runs per game on average and has hit 13 home runs. Their offensive output this season has been at the bottom of the barrel in terms of hits (746) and batting average (.224), so this is a far cry from that.
This season, the Guardians are 25-25 at home and 26-26 away. Cleveland has a 4-2 advantage this season and is 7-3 in its previous 10 matchups with the Royals.

Ramirez keeps becoming better over the All-Star break. With 21 home runs and 56 RBI, he ranks 11th in the Majors with an eighth-best batting average of.297 and.902 OPS. Ramirez enters today’s doubleheader on a four-game hitting streak.
Martinez, Angel
