The Baltimore Orioles host the Cleveland Guardians for a battle between 2 of the top 5 teams in Major League Baseball.

The Cleveland Guardians look to keep their win streak intact Monday afternoon as they start their series against the Baltimore Orioles. Cleveland and Baltimore are top 5 teams in the standings heading into Monday’s Game 1 of a best-of-3 series.
The Guardians and Orioles boast 2 of the top pitching units in the league, so much so that their numbers are about equal. However, the Guardians have an advantage on the mound tonight with Tanner Bibee facing lefty Cade Povich and a taxed Orioles bullpen that has struggled in recent weeks. Povich has been impressive in his first few starts in the majors though, so he could be in for another big night after holding the Yankees to just 1 hit through 4.2 innings last week.
Baltimore just barely has the edge offensively according to the stats with top 5 numbers in OPS, SLG, home runs, hits, total bases and RBIs.
