Cleveland Guardians vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction: Guardians should even this series

Major League Baseball action between the Cleveland Guardians and Arizona Diamondbacks will take place at the Progressive Field in Cleveland. Below is a full match preview with betting opportunities.

The Cleveland Guardians did not have the kind of start they would have dreamt of, and they now have a chance to redeem themselves. Having entered this series with a split win over the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Guardians will be tasked to do better here. In that series against the Orioles, Cleveland Guardians won the first two games and then lost the third and finale, scoring 27 runs and conceding 24. Heading into this game, the Cleveland Guardians have a 67-45 record, good enough to see them sit top of the American League.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in hot form, and they also showed character in this opener, securing a 6-7 win. However, in their prior series to this, the Arizona Diamondbacks have defeated the Washington Nationals, Pittsburgh Pirates twice, Kansas City Royals, Chicago Cubs, Toronto Blue Jays and Atlanta Braves. 

Heading into this game, the Arizona Diamondbacks are 61-52 the year after playing the Nationals and Pirates. The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in 7 of their last eight games. 

The Cleveland Guardians have the better chance of winning this game. In the opener, they were unlucky as they lost by one run. While the Diamondbacks look like a threat, based on their performances in the recent series, the Guardians are a tough side that can challenge them, and they should win this game at Progressive Field.
