Game Preview
The Houston Astros will be the hosts in their three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Minute Maid Park. The Guardians aren’t looking too hot as they recently lost four out of their last five games, and two of those were against the Cincinnati Reds. On the other hand, the Houston Astros won 3 of a 4-game set at home versus the Texas Rangers, which means that they arrive into this match in a much better form compared to the Guardians.
To open up the game, the Houston Astros will send out Luis Garcia as their starting pitcher, who is carrying a 3-2 record with a 3.35 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP throughout 37 2/3 innings pitched over 7 starts. Luis Garcia’s most recent start ended up in a 5-1 loss against the Boston Red Sox, where he gave up 5 runs and only managed to strike out 4 batters. When Luis Garcia started against the Cleveland Guardians back in 2021, he had 6 scoreless innings pitched and the Houston Astros finished the game with a 9-3 score.
Although the Cleveland Guardians haven’t announced it yet, 24-year-old Triston McKenzie will be the starting pitcher according to the projections. McKenzie’s most recent start resulted in a 3-1 loss for the Cleveland Guardians, where he pitched 7 innings and gave up 3 earned runs. He also played in the Astros vs Guardians match we talked about, and he didn’t have a stellar performance.
The Cleveland Guardians are sitting on a 17-20 record, which isn’t the worst of the league, but they need to start picking up wins if they want to catch up with the rest of the competition. Beating down the Houston Astros is going to be a difficult task, but the Cleveland Guardians already demonstrated that they can score wins against the strongest teams in the league.
