Cleveland Guardians vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Sunday, September 08, 2024 – 04:10 PM ET at Dodger Stadium
The AI Model suggests the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Guardians will only score 7.5 runs in today’s ball game. With the total currently at 8.5, consider the Under as one of the best plays on today’s slate.
Keep The Strikeouts Coming
The Guardians will throw Tanner Bibee today. The right-hander has struck out 25.6% of batters and has only walked 6% over the last month. Beyond that, he’s been able to hold his previous 61 righties to a wOBA of .287 and has only allowed 21.6% of fly balls to lefties over the last 30 days.
Bibee won’t have to worry about walking the Dodgers. After all, the Dodgers are aggressive against righties, averaging only 7.7% of walks in the last month. If he can tally the strikeouts and limit the walks, Bibee will have a quality start.
Cleveland Doesn’t Scare Flaherty
Jack Flaherty will get the ball for the Dodgers. The right-hander has allowed a .395 ISO and wOBA of .442 against righties in the last month.
However, Cleveland’s lineup doesn’t have many righties doing damage. Instead, there’s only one right-hander batter, which has hit a .119 ISO and wOBA of .291 against righties in the last 30 days.
Prepare for another massive start from Flaherty.
The Pick
Rock with the Under 8.5 for this matchup.
