- Analysis
- The Cleveland Guardians have the pitching edge for this revenge situation, as they hand the ball to Gavin Williams (5-1, 2.70) to oppose Kansas City Royals right-hander Stephen Kolek (0-0, 0.00), who is making his season debut. And while Kolek is looking to get the cobwebs out, Williams has been dealing through seven starts, including a 3-1 showing with a 4.30 ERA in four road starts, while limiting teams to a sub-.200 batting average. Williams is 2-1 with a 2.28 ERA in nine career starts against the Royals, and I expect him to dominate tonight, while the Guardians' lineup will be out for revenge after last night's loss.
