Kenny G said the Cleveland Guardians are the side to back at -120 against Tampa Bay. He pointed to rookie left-hander Parker Messick’s 1.35 ERA after a sparkling six-and-two-thirds inning debut (7 H, 1 ER, 6 K) and a Guardians bullpen he ranks “top four or five in MLB.” Meanwhile Shane Baz has been “terrible recently,” and Tampa’s 29-34 road record plus a 33-28-2 road under trend suggest they are over-valued as only slight dogs. Although Cleveland has been shut out three straight games and sits 28th in runs, Kenny believes the skid is unsustainable and expects the bats to wake up enough with strong pitching support. Market numbers cited: Rays +100 / Guardians –120, game total 8. He framed the pick as trying to “catch a falling knife,” yet still labeled Cleveland his preferred side.
