#962 ASA PLAY ON Cleveland Guardians -135 over Kansas City Royals, Wednesday at 1:10 PM ET - Last night the Royals starting pitcher, Lorenzen, got hurt covering 1st base and had to leave the game in the 2nd inning. So Kansas City had to use a lot of bullpen arms yesterday and this followed a double-header Monday which also required a lot of bullpen usage.  Michael Wacha has been solid of late for the Royals but so too has Tanner Bibee of the Guardians.  Also, the Cleveland bullpen is in better shape than the KC pen.  This is a big battle at the top of the AL Central and, with 3 straight wins, Kansas City is now tied for 1st place with the Guardians.  Look for Cleveland to come up big here and avoid the sweep.  The Guardians are a perfect 3-0 the last 3 times they have entered a game on a losing streak of 3 or more games.  This is an early start time in Cleveland and Wacha is 0-4 in his 5 day game starts this season.  Bibee is 4-0 in his 8 day game starts this season.  Bibee has a 2.81 ERA and 1-0 record in his 3 starts versus KC in his young career.  Wacha escaped major damage when he faced Cleveland earlier this season but did allow 7 hits in 5.1 innings.  The Royals bullpen is ranked 24th in the majors with a 4.33 ERA while Cleveland's bullpen is ranked 1st in the majors with a 2.82 ERA.  The KC bullpen, as noted above, has been overworked recently as well.  Look for the Guardians to pull away as this game gets into the latter innings and we look for a solid win for the hosts here.  The home team is the bet in this one.
