Diamondbacks vs. Guardians MLB Game Betting Analysis
It’s hard to go against Arizona here, as the Diamondbacks have owned the Guardians recently with wins in eight of their last 10 meetings. Arizona has also won its last five games outright when facing any AL Central team as an underdog, which Arizona is at +135. Also, Arizona has covered the run line in six straight similar spots, so we like Arizona to win outright as an underdog despite Cleveland’s.
While Arizona is also riding a current three-game winning streak, Cleveland has lost seven of nine games. Adding more merit to Arizona to at least cover the +1.5-run line, the underdog has covered the run line in five straight meetings along with eight of the last nine. The total seems to point towards the Under, hitting in three of four meetings along with seven straight games for Arizona when facing the AL as an underdog.
