The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to play host to the Cleveland Guardians for a three-game weekend series beginning tomorrow from Dodger Stadium. Cleveland finished up a series with the Colorado Rockies this afternoon, while the Dodgers are coming off a two-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels.

The opening pitching matchup of this series is expected to feature Zach Plesac of the Guardians, taking on Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers.

How to Bet Guardians-Dodgers

Moneyline: Guardians +225 /Dodgers -275 | Run Line: Guardians +1.5 (+106)/Dodgers -1.5 (-128) | Total: 8 (O-112, U-108)

In addition to traditional bets like the moneyline, run line, and game total, there are several bets offered at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Dodgers got back into the win column against the Los Angeles Angels but there still hasn’t been a lot to like about their offense of late. Look towards the total tonight, which is set at eight, and consider the under at -108 in what could be a good pitching duel.

Are the Guardians for Real in the AL Central?

Cleveland has been a surprise team so far this season, posting the second-best record in the AL Central and sitting above .500 on the year. There’s a lot to like about this team including their ability to manufacture runs, but they’ll clearly be in a tough spot this weekend against a powerhouse Dodgers team. Plesac hasn’t been as consistent as we’re used to this season, posting a 4.70 ERA, which might not play very well at Dodger Stadium.

Will the Dodgers Continue Gaining Momentum vs. Guardians?

The Dodgers struggled to start the month of June, but after getting some good pitching against the Los Angeles Angels, there could be a hot stretch coming on for the World Series favorites. Clayton Kershaw has continued his dominance this year when he’s been healthy, owning a 4-1 record with a 2.12 ERA and 36 strikeouts.
