Cleveland Guardians
Cleveland looks to bounce back after losing the season opener 3-1 and following that up with a 1-0 loss in game 2 of the series. They will really need game 3 to have a chance at 2-2 series tie.
Cal Quantrill started 22 games for Cleveland going 8-3 with a 2.89 ERA in 2021. Cal is a ground ball pitcher that will pitch to contact in this game. He heavily relays on 2 pitches, a sinker and cutter; he will throw these 2 pitches about 60% of the time.
Cleveland will relay on Jose Ramirez to do it all on the offensive side of the ball. Jose is the type of player that should be right around .270 with 30 HRs and around 100 RBIs. Jose is 2-8 on the seasons driving in the loan Guardian run.
Kansas City Royals
The Royals are beginning to open up a window where they could compete for playoff bids. This team has some fun names and when they get on base, look for 4-5 guys in the lineup to be able to steal bases.
The lefty Kris Bubic will be getting the ball for this game. Bubic had a record of 6-7 last year with a 4.43 ERA. Not a great overall season by the former 1st round draft pick by the Royals.
Bubic will throw 3 pitches, a 4 seamer, curveball and changeup. He throws his 4 seamer roughly half of the time. The pitch that will be key for Bubic this season is his curveball. He only throws his curve about 17% of the time, but last year, batters hit .338 off that pitch. He will need to improve on that pitch if he has any chance of turning into a solid SP.
The exciting guy to watch for the Royals is obviously Bobby Witt Jr. Bobby entered this season as the #1 prospect in all of baseball and hit his way onto the opening day roster. He drove in the game leading run in the bottom of the 8th for his first major league hit on opening day.
