As betting lines are yet to be established, keeping an eye on updates will be key. Given the current performance and standings, Cleveland might be favored. However, the Angels’ recent performance against the spread suggests they could present value as underdogs.

Logan Allen (5-2, 4.91 ERA) vs. Patrick Sandoval (2-6, 4.59 ERA)

Logan Allen of the Cleveland Guardians has listed 5-2 but has a comparatively higher 4.91 ERA. His WHIP is as low as 1.44 over 51.1 games started, and could be considered weak at times, giving up 58 hits and 9 homers in total. Allen is definitely a strong kicker, and the top among Cleveland pitchers with 43 Ks, but he has a history of allowing hits and since Cleveland will face the Angels at their home ground, it remains to be seen how this will play out.

On the other side, Patrick Sandoval of the Angels has a record of 2-6 and has a slightly lower ERA of 4.59. Other ratios are also near that of Allen such as WHIP which is to his of 1.47 over his 51 innings, which also shows that he too allows many of them. Sandoval however has made many strikeouts, this season registering 53 but issues with control have an impact on leading to the 20 walks. His task will be to handle the Guardians’ hitters properly so that he does not worsen his win-loss column.

Their batting average is .246 and they have a better record in hitting with 404 hits and 56 home runs against the Guardians.
