The Cleveland Guardians will go for their second straight series sweep against the Kansas City Royals at Progressive Field on Sunday.
The Guardians notched their fifth consecutive victory on Saturday behind another productive night at the plate. Cleveland is batting .227 with 57 runs this season, but over the last five games they have raised their batting average to .238 with 5.2 runs per game. The 8-6 Guardians are a full game behind the 9-5 Detroit Tigers in the American League Central Division standings.
The Royals, who trails the Guardians and the Tigers in the same division, suffered their third loss in four games following another horrible close out by the bullpen. Kansas City is pitching 3.56 ERA with their bullpen a 4.40 ERA over their last five assignments.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
Cole Ragans (0-0, 2.81 ERA) is set to start for the Royals on Monday and is expected to put up decent numbers against the Guardians, whom he allowed to score three runs in five innings of a 4-7 loss on March 27. The biggest problem for the Guardians right now is their underperforming bullpen, which has surrendered a 4.40 ERA in the last five games. Cleveland, who covered a -1.5-run spread in their last three assignments, is my pick to cover and win outright because of how prolific they have been at the plate recently. Guardians starter Ben Lively will step onto the mound with some momentum after throwing a shutout to the Whites Sox in five innings. Our betting prediction for Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Guardians: Guardians will win.
