The Red Sox host the Guardians for an AL battle! It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Guardians-Red Sox prediction and pick. The Cleveland Guardians are coming off of a series split against the Chicago White Sox but lost the series' final two games. They will look to get back on track against a struggling Red Sox team. They lost Game 1…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

The Rockies won 91 games last season. They're coming off consecutive appearances in the postseason for the first time in the team's 26-year history. While they are clearly on the rise, the Rockies, swept by the Brewers in the Division Series last year, are looking to go deeper into October this year and very well might - if the offense…

The Rockies stumbled to a 26-34 record in pandemic-shortened 2020 and avoided last place in the NL West by one game. More offense is a must if the Rockies are to improve. That may be tough after trading their best player, Nolan Arenado, to the Cardinals over the offseason in a cost-cutting measure. The Rockies do have another star remaining on the…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Myles Straw wants to make one thing clear. He's here to play 162 games this season. "No days off, baby," said the Guardians center fielder. "All 162 this year. That's the goal." Straw, however, wasn't in the starting lineup Wednesday against Kansas City after appearing in the first 45 games of the season. He did enter the game as…

The Cleveland Guardians head to Kansas City to start the 2022 season after a rather quiet offseason. The Guardians went 80-82 in 2021 and finished in second place in the American League Central. They did so despite injuries to several top pitchers, including 2020 Cy Young winner Shane Bieber, and manager Terry Francona even missed time for health…

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Cleveland claimed right-hander Luis Oviedo off waivers from Pittsburgh on Tuesday and added him to the club's 40-man roster. Familiar face: If Oviedo's name sounds familiar, it's because the 22-year-old Venezuelan was a member of Cleveland's 2016 international signing class and spent five seasons with the organization before being…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Bright sunshine met the Guardians on the first day of June on Wednesday afternoon at Progressive Field. After a stormy May, which included six postponements because of bad weather, it was a welcomed sight even if the grounds crew had the tarp unrolled awaiting a cloudburst that didn't come until the final out of the game. Konnor…

The Cleveland Guardians will conclude their battle with the Tampa Bay Rays in the final of a three-game series Sunday afternoon in Tampa Bay. With that said, it's a good time to check out our MLB odds series, which includes our Guardians-Rays prediction and pick we have laid out below. Cleveland is 51-49, second in the AL Central, just two games…

Dusty Baker finally got his long-awaited ring as the Houston Astros secured their second World Series title in six years, suffering just two postseason losses at the end of an outstanding regular season. Well done, Houston. Now, can you become the first back-to-back champion in more than two decades? An awful lot will change before Major League…

Have you ever watched a sporting event, listened to the commentators, and wondered how those involved in the game felt about certain issues being discussed on the telecast? Yeah, we have too. And since The Athletic has compiled a panel of eight experts - two active players, three scouts and three coaches - to help us break down this postseason, we…

The New York Yankees host the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of an MLB 2022 American League Division Series Tuesday, October 11, at Yankee Stadium in New York. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV. Gerrit Cole gets the start on the mound in Game 1 of the best-of-5 series for the Yankees, vs. fellow right-hander Cal Quantrill for the Mariners.…

The structure of the Division Series is different from what has traditionally been the case. While they remain a best of five, it used to be that one league would begin before the other. This time, however, all four start on Tuesday with their Game 1's. Wednesday then sees Game 2 only in the National League, and the American League get a day off,…

The new, expanded playoffs start, now with even more teams! It definitely lowers the bar for entry. Under the pre-2012 system, the solitary wild-card teams in each league would have been the Blue Jays (92 wins) and the Mets (101). Now, you only need 86 wins to reach the post-season, as demonstrated by the Rays. The Mariners, Padres and Phillies are…

ARLINGTON -- There's been so much focus on how young the Guardians' roster is this season. So along with a typical champagne celebration, what's more fitting than a pizza party for a young club that just clinched the American League Central? Oscar Gonzalez and Cal Quantrill were bringing in boxes of pizza as other guys were getting doused in…

ARLINGTON -- The Guardians knew they were looked at as underdogs coming into the year and have since used that as fuel to have the level of success they've experienced thus far. On Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Field, the Guardians clinched their first division title since 2018 and are now able to start looking ahead to the best-of-three Wild Card…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Guardians were at Fenway Park coming out of the All-Star break for a four-game series. It was raining and right-hander James Karinchak kept flipping the ball in the air with his right hand and talking to himself. When he wasn't doing that, he was going to the rosin bag to get a better grip on the ball. Boston fans were on him…

DETROIT -- Aaron Civale returned to the Guardians' rotation Wednesday night after spending almost a month on the injured list with a sore right wrist. The offense welcomed him back with a minimal amount of support. Fortunately, the bullpen was more giving as the Guardians beat Detroit, 3-2, for their fourth straight win. The Guards moved into first…
