Cleveland Guardians
Cleveland completed a sweep in Colorado on Thursday afternoon, 4–2.
Triston McKenzie earned the win with a six-inning start in which he gave up just one run on seven hits and a walk. He struck out six.
Ahmed Rosario drove in two of Cleveland’s runs right in front of Jose Ramirez in the lineup. Ramirez went just 1-for-4 in a relatively quiet game.
Austin Hedges hit a solo home run for Cleveland, which has won 14 times in its last 18 games.
Zach Plesac has given the Guards six innings in each of his last three starts.
He’s given up 17 hits in those 18 innings but just six runs because he has not walked a batter. The three opponents (KC, Baltimore, Oakland) certainly do not stand up to the team he will face in this spot.
LA Dodgers
The Dodgers made it two for two against the Angels on Wednesday, 4–1.
Tyler Anderson got an out in the ninth but couldn’t complete his start. He walked two and gave up a single hit and run in the victory.
Craig Kimbrel gave up a hit but shut the door by striking out two batters.
Young stud Will Smith hit a three-run homer in the first, his ninth of the year. He only has seven other extra-base hits.
The Dodgers were at home against the Angels on Tuesday and Wednesday. They enjoyed their second day off in four on Thursday and start this series with Clayton Kershaw on Friday.
Kersh returned from a month off with an injury last weekend against the Giants and took the loss.
He threw 71 pitches in four innings and gave up three hits, two walks and two runs. He struck out four.

Cleveland Guardians vs. LA Dodgers MLB Prediction:
The Dodgers win Kershaw, who will continue to pitch well against a particularly inexperienced lineup. He gets through five innings and turns it over to the bullpen, which preserves his victory.
But the Dodgers (-250) don’t offer any value. In fact, Cleveland is the better bet on the moneyline. It may not show any signs of being road weary and instead may just keep running on fumes.
Plesac will be the key. He’s built up his confidence against some bottom clubs in the American League. If he can come through against the Dodgers, Cleveland could win a low-scoring game.
