Kansas City Royals vs Cleveland Guardians Game 1 Betting Preview
The Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians will meet in Game 1 of their double-header on Monday, August 26 at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The Guardians are in first place in the AL Central, boasting a record of 75-55, while the Royals are tied for second place in the AL Central with a record of 72-58. With the Royals trailing the Guardians by three games in the AL Central standings going into today's action, today represents a huge chance for the Guardians to create some separation or for the Royals to make things very interesting in this division race.
Kansas City will start Cole Ragans in this contest. Ragans enters today's action with a record of 10-8 and an ERA of 3.31, which ranks 14th in MLB. Ragans is coming off of a rough showing against the Los Angeles Angels, in which he gave up four earned runs in five innings of work in a loss. He will need to be much sharper if the Royals are going to come away with a win in the first game of this double-header.
On the Cleveland side, it will be Nick Sandlin getting the start in the opening game of this twin-bill. Sandlin is an improbable 7-0 out of the bullpen this season with an ERA of 3.88. But the Guardians going with an opener out of the bullpen in this game is interesting, as they are going to have to rely heavily on their bullpen over the course of two games on Monday.
