(MLB) Cleveland vs. Tampa Bay, 07/30/2022 1:10 PM, Score: 4 - 6
Money Line: -114.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Win
The Guardians beat the Rays, 4-1, behind Shane Bieber on Friday. Tampa Bay had won the previous seven times hosting Cleveland.

Look for things to revert back to normal in the second game of this series in a pitching matchup of Zach Plesac versus Corey Kluber.

Tampa Bay is 31-19 at home. Kluber isn't the Cy Young Award winner of 2014 and 2017 anymore. But he's still highly respectable and has pitched his best at tricky Tropicana Field with a 4-1 record and 3.42 ERA at home.

Plesac, who is 2-8 with a 4.09 ERA, is not in good current form. He's 0-2 with a 5.93 ERA in his last three starts. He is 1-6 with a 4.97 ERA during his road starts.

The Guardians have lost 11 of their last 17 away contests. They are a below .500 team on the road.
