The Guardians are coming into this game with a 35-17 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 8 straight as well as 11 of their last 12 games and their offense has been very good in these games as they have scored 6+ runs in 3 of their last 4 games. They are going up against an Angels team that is 20-32 this season and has not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games and their offense has not been great in those as they have been averaging 3 runs scored per game in their last 3 games. Reid Detmers is starting for the Angels in this game and he is 3-4 with a 5.80 ERA this season. He started the season pitching well but he quickly fell off and has been awful in his recent starts. He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 6 starts as well as allowing at least 6 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. One of those starts was against the Guardians earlier this season as he allowed 7 earned runs in that game. Ben Lively is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 3-2 with a 2.84 ERA this season. He has been very good this season as he has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in any of his 7 starts this year and he has only allowed 3 earned runs in 2 of his starts as he has only allowed 2 earned runs or less in the other 5. The Guardians have the much better pitching matchup with Lively in this game and they also have the better bullpen to back him up as well as the better offense which has been scoring more runs recently. The Guardians will win this game.
