Guardians Seek Four-Game Sweep Over Orioles in Key AL Series

The Cleveland Guardians are aiming to complete a four-game sweep over the Baltimore Orioles at Progressive Field, building on a strong recent run with 11 wins in their last 13 games. Guardians pitcher Logan Allen is expected to have the upper hand against Orioles starter Charlie Morton, who has struggled this season with a high ERA and recent poor outings. Cleveland's bullpen has been notably more consistent than Baltimore's, contributing to their offensive advantage in the series. The Guardians hold a favorable home record and lead the season series 4-2 against the Orioles, who have struggled on the road. Advanced projection models favor the Guardians to win and suggest the total runs scored will go under nine. Meanwhile, in a separate MLB matchup, the Los Angeles Angels hold a pitching advantage with Yusei Kikuchi over the Seattle Mariners' Logan Evans, whose poor metrics make the Angels favored despite their recent travel challenges.
