Odds from Betonline.ag
Lance Lynn is a good pitcher typically, but has not really pitched that much on the year. Look for the lack of experience to really become a problem for Lynn in this game as the Guardians offense has been decent at times, but streaky. Still the Guardians are going to do enough offensively to lock down the win, but it will not be that easy and the game should go on the over here I think.
