Cleveland Guardians - Tampa Bay Rays: Form Analysis

The Guardians have won eight of their last 10 games which helped them to wrap up the division race. However, Cleveland hasn’t seen a dramatic improvement in their home performance vs their away performance. They are 41-33 on home soil and actually have a better away record at 46-35. On the other side, the Rays will be desperate to put an end to a slump which has seen them take only one win from their last four games. They’ll have to overcome some poor away form if they are to get the better of their opponents in this one though, as the Rays are just 34-40 on the road compared to their excellent 51-30 record at Tropicana Field.

Cleveland Guardians & Tampa Bay Rays Squad Analysis

Taking the mound for the hosts is Cal Quantrill who is 15-4 on the year with an ERA of 3.49. While the 27-year-old is certainly having a solid year overall, his excellent starting record is not quite indicative of his performance. Quantrill has struggled with the long ball as of late, giving up four home runs in his last five starts and seven earned runs in his last three outings. On the other side, Rays’ lefty Jeffery Springs gets the start and will be looking to improve upon his 9-4 record and 2.56 ERA. Springs will be looking to bounce back after giving up five runs in his last two outings, totaling 10 innings of work.

Cleveland Guardians - Tampa Bay Rays Key Points

  1. The Guardians have the third worst team OPS against left handed pitching this season at .648.
  2. Rays’ starter Jeffery Springs is 5-2 on the road this season with a 2.88 ERA.
  3. In the five meetings between these two sides this year, neither team has won back-to-back games. Cleveland won the last matchup 2-1.
  4. Guardians’ starter Cal Quantrill has given up a home run in four of his past five starts.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

We’re going to back the Tampa Bay Rays to get the win in this game and ultimately take this three game series 2-1. The Guardians have been one of baseball’s in-form teams over the last few weeks but are coming up against a Rays team still very much involved in a Wild Card race as they look to secure their spot in the postseason. The visitors likely have a slight pitching advantage as well with Springs on the mound as the 30-year-old has shown excellent consistency in his starts both home and away.
