RAW likes Cleveland Guardians +1.5.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

• Positive prior Messick-vs.-Rays performance, including at Tropicana Field.
• A strong Cleveland late-inning relief core.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Tampa Bay had the superior full-season offense and took five of six regular-season meetings.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

• Tampa Bay's contact-oriented offense challenges Messick's command after his four-walk prior start.
• Messick's workload was well above his prior professional high.
• Cleveland's key relievers had recent usage while Tampa Bay had more rest.

BOTTOM LINE

Positive prior Messick-vs.-Rays performance, including at Tropicana Field. The concern: Tampa Bay had the superior full-season offense and took five of six regular-season meetings.
