This is an 8* TOTAL on the OVER Guardians/Rays.

Both teams have seen the total go UNDER in two straight, including in Cleveland's 4-1 series opening win yesterday. We are expecting some offensive fireworks here on Saturday afternoon though.

Korey Kluber (6-6, 3.91 ERA) faces his former team in the Guardians today. The Rays will be desperate to give their veteran pitcher some support today, as they've scored just one run in their past 18 innings, and have scored three or fewer runs in six of their last seven games.

The home side catches a break facing Zach Plesac (2-8, 4.09), who is 0-1 with a 6.17 ERA in two career outings vs. the Rays.

Plesac hasn't won in eight starts, a stretch in which he's gone 0-4.

The Guardians average 4.58 runs per game on the road, and we're expecting the visiting side to plate some runs off its former teammate this afternoon.

This O/U number is just a little TOO low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
