Cleveland Guardians Betting Information

(June 28, 2023) - The Cleveland Guardians were winning 60 percent of their games of late.  Their current record sat just above the .500 mark.

Bieber vs. Greinke

(June 28, 2023) - Cleveland was coming in as low as a -160 favorite overnight against the Royals.

Shane Bieber is 5-5 with a 3.69 ERA.  He is coming off of two losses.  Bieber permitted four runs in five-plus innings and struck out eight in a loss to the Brewers on Friday.  The prior start he was charged with five runs over 7 1/3 innings against the Diamondbacks. 

On June 11, Bieber arguably had one of his best starts of the season against the Astros.  He blanked them for seven innings and struck out nine.  He is more than capable of going deep and the Royals offer an excellent opportunity to bounce back.

He's 18 for 75 against the Royals current lineup (.240), giving up 3 home runs, each of those courtesy of Salvador Perez. 

Matt Duffy, who is .303 on the season, is the only other Royals batter who has enjoyed solid success against Bieber (4 for 9 with a double and 2 RBIs).

Zack Greinke is 1-8 with a 5.31 ERA for Kansas City. 

Greinke was knocked around in a losing effort against the Rays on Friday night, giving up seven runs on nine hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work.  He yielded three runs in five-plus innings Monday against the Reds.  Greinke hasn't had a win since May 3 and hasn't been able to get beyond the 6th inning in any recent games. 

The Guardians career statistics vs. Greinke are 23 of 84 (.274) with no home runs. 

Guardians Were Killing It

(June 28, 2023) - By the top of the 6th inning, the Guardians were up 13-0 over the hapless Kansas City Royals.  There were actually no runs scored until the top of the 3rd inning when Cleveland was able to score four runs.  The real damage was in the 6th inning with 7 runs scored by the Indians.

Logan Allen Starts vs. Royals 

(June 28, 2023) - Logan Allen does not have a win in his last two starts.  He was taken out early against the Athletics after 89 pitches but only allowed two hits.  He was tagged for five runs in three innings by the Padres. 

He is 3-2 with a 3.65 ERA on the season thus far and will face off against a Kansas City team that is just 22-57.

Austin Cox will start for the Royals.

The Guardians are 22-9 in the last 31 meetings in Kansas City.

Cleveland is a -138 favorite here and we will be on the Guardians.
