Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cleveland Guardians Game 2 Betting Preview

As the Cleveland Guardians and Arizona Diamondbacks meet for the second game of their double-header on August 7, 2024, both teams are looking to assert their dominance. The Guardians, with a solid record of 67-45, are enjoying a fruitful season, while the Diamondbacks, at 61-52, are faring well in a competitive NL West. The Guardians’ strong bullpen ranks as the 6th best in MLB, which could be crucial in a matchup that promises to be tightly contested.

In their last game, the Guardians fell just short against the Diamondbacks, losing 7-6 in a nail-biter. While the Guardians' offense ranks 14th in the league, it has been bolstered by standout performances from Jose Ramirez, who's been on a tear lately. In his last seven games, Ramirez has posted a remarkable .421 batting average with seven RBIs and two home runs, showcasing his ability to come up clutch.

As for the pitching matchup in this contest, Arizona is sending Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound against Carlos Carrasco of the Guardians. Rodriguez comes into today with a record of 13-9 with an ERA of 3.30, while Carrasco is 3-9 for the year with an ERA of 5.53. Both pitchers will be very important to their teams in this contest, especially if one or both bullpens sees a ton of usage in the opening game of the double-header.

Before betting this game, bettors will want to monitor the lineup cards put forth by both managers going into this contest. We could see players rotated in and out after the first game of this double-header, which could have a huge impact on which team comes out on top.
