Guardians Betting Preview

Cleveland is 4-1 after last night’s win in Oakland, and they’ll look to tack on a fifth straight win here. The Indians have looked much better since a slow start on Opening Day, and that’s the consistency they’re looking for. Cleveland is batting .258 at the plate, with a 4.11 team ERA. Jose Ramirez, Steven Kwan, and Andres Gimenez each recorded multiple hits and RBI in game one

Shane Bieber will return to the mound for Cleveland. The sixth-year pitcher looked solid in his season debut at Seattle, tossing six shutout innings en route to a no-decision. Bieber silenced Oakland in his lone start in the Bay last season with seven strikeouts over seven innings of work.

Athletics Betting Preview

Oakland dropped to 1-3 after losing to Cleveland at home. The Athletics put together their best offensive outing, with runs scored last night then each of their first three contests combined. Oakland is batting .226 at the plate, with a 6.81 team ERA. 

JP Sears will start for Oakland. The second-year pitcher spent time with the Yanks and A’s last season, and after becoming a starter in the Bay down the stretch, he finished at 6-3, with a 3.27 ERA, with 51 strikeouts. 

Cleveland vs Oakland Trends

Cleveland is 1-1 against the spread this season, with a 3-2 over/under record. Oakland is 1-1 ATS, with a 2-2 O/U record. The Guardians are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. American League West. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. CLE is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Oakland.

Corey's Free Pick

Cleveland will come into game two with their ace on the against a very defeat-able opponent. Oakland’s outburst last night was unseen, and will likely not occur again with Shane Bieber on the hill. The run line is a little juiced here, while the total feels attainable with light production. Take over for this AL contest.
