Cleveland remains a half game behind the Royals as both teams are making a push for the final wild cad spot. Slade Cecconi and Cleveland have lost four of his last five starts and he’s allowed five runs, or more, in three of those starts along with a 5.37 home ERA. Ryan Bergert is in much better form since being acquired by the Royals as he’s yet to allowed more than two runs in his last six starts.
September baseball we typically see lineups changing as teams try and make their final push. For Kansas City and Cleveland that fits right in line with two teams pushing for a Wild Card spot. Expect the Guardians to not be as lenient with Slade Cecconi if he continues his pattern of giving up high runs, and for Ryan Bergert to extend his streak of two runs or less allowed. Take the under.
