Prediction and Conclusion

This series is as hot as it can be at this part of the season. The teams are separated by only one game in the battle for the top seed in the AL Central, with the Guardians holding that spot at the moment. Cleveland has had one of the best home records in the entire league this season, but the Royals managed to win both games yesterday. The Guardians need to bounce back if they want to keep the leading spot, but they will go with Gavin Williams, who has not been among their best options this season. The 25-year-old pitcher is only 2-6 for the season, with a 5.13 ERA, 52 K, 47.1 IP, and 1.46 WHIP. The Royals will go with Michael Lorenzen, who is 7-6 for the season with a 3.47 ERA, 91 K, 124.1 IP, and 1.25 WHIP. Given these numbers and the current form of both teams, we go with the Royals to win this one as well.
