It's hard not to bet on Cal Quantrill and the Guardians at -120. Cleveland has won three straight Quantrill starts, and 13 of his last 14. They also picked up a 6-3 victory in his start against the Rangers earlier this season. Meanwhile, Texas' Glenn Otto has a 6.10 ERA at home, and walks a lot of batters. Considering the Guardians have more hits than any team in the last 30 days, I'll welcome any additional baserunners. The Rangers have lost 18 of their last 25. The Guardians have won five in a row, 14 of their last 16 games, and they're 3-1 against the Rangers this year.
Cal Quantrill is starting for the Guardians and he is 9-1 with a 3.40 ERA in his last 15 starts. Glen Otto has been very hit or miss this season and he has a 4.11 ERA in his last seven starts. The Guardians have a big bullpen advantage ranked 2nd in the league in the last 30 days, and they have now won 16 of their last 19 games overall. The Guardians magic number is now down to just 3, meaning they need any combination of Guardians wins or White Sox losses to add up to 3 to clinch the division. So if they win their next two games and the White Sox lose either today or tomorrow, they clinch. I think they’re full steam ahead right now until they clinch so let’s ride them while we can.
