The Cleveland Guardians are set to invade Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, on Monday at 7:45 PM, with both teams looking a bit anemic at the plate. The Guardians, rocking a 9-6 record, will send righty Gavin Williams (1-1, 2.04 ERA) to the mound, while the Cardinals, sitting pretty at 8-6, will counter with lefty Matthew Liberatore (0-0, 3.38 ERA). The matchup will be broadcast on MLB.TV - because who doesn't love a good excuse to stay home and watch baseball?
The real question here is: can these pitchers outdo each other's offenses? The Guardians boast a .219 batting average, while the Cardinals aren't much better at .224. On the flip side, Cleveland's pitching has been on point with a 3.41 ERA, whereas St. Louis has struggled to a 4.82 ERA. With injuries piling up on both sides - notably, the Guardians are without Hunter Gaddis and George Valera - it's anyone's guess who'll come out on top. Will Gavin Williams keep his recent form going, or can Matthew Liberatore tame the Guardians' lineup? Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat!
