Cleveland Guardians Favored to Continue Winning Streak Against Depleted Brewers

Cleveland secured a convincing victory in the first game of this series and appears poised to continue their success on Wednesday against the Brewers. Gavin Williams will take the mound for the Guardians, having recorded wins in three of his last four starts while delivering strong performances each time. Williams has consistently tallied at least eight strikeouts in each of these victories and has limited opponents to no more than two runs. Recent highlight include a shutout against the Phillies. Meanwhile, the depleted Brewers have yet to name their starter, and injuries have weakened their pitching rotation. With a team ERA ranking of 22nd, Milwaukee lacks a reliable bullpen to challenge Cleveland. The Guardians, currently healthy and in pursuit of the division lead, are favored to prevail in this matchup. Expect the Guardians to claim victory.
