Athletics vs. Guardians odds, picks: Advanced computer MLB model releases selections for Sunday matchup

The Oakland Athletics visit the Cleveland Guardians for a late morning American League matchup at 11:35 a.m. ET on Sunday. Cleveland is listed as a -165 favorite (risk $165 to win $100) at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under is set at 8 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page). Before making any Athletics vs. Guardians picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and it is off to a strong start to the 2022 season. It's on a 52-37 roll on top-rated MLB money-line picks through nine weeks, returning over $800 for $100 players. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows the Athletics have a quality pitcher on the hill. Oakland left-hander Cole Irvin takes the ball, and he has a 3.00 ERA this season. Irvin issues only 2.1 walks per nine innings, and he allowed only one run against Cleveland earlier this season. Irvin has a 2.29 ERA in the last seven starts, and he is particularly potent against left-handed batters.

The model also knows the Guardians are red-hot. Cleveland is 9-3 in the last 12 games, and the Guardians have the lowest strikeout rate (17.9 percent) in the American League. The Guardians are also in the top five of the AL in batting average, stolen bases, and triples this season. Cleveland should also benefit from an Oakland bullpen with an ugly 4.58 ERA this season.

Now, it has set its sights on Athletics vs. Guardians. We can tell you the model is leaning under the total, and it also says one team has all the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
