Cubs vs. Guardians MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Guardians. Veteran pitcher, Matthew Boyd is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday night after missing the entire season thus far recovering from Tommy John Surgery. Boyd has pitched very well in Triple-A in his rehab starts with a 0.83 ERA and 27 strikeouts in just over 21 innings pitched. I expect Boyd to fit right in the Guardians’ rotation. Cleveland stays hot at the plate and wins once again on Tuesday night.
