If you wanted a test for the Guardians offense, this series could be it. After facing two rebuilding teams last week, Cleveland will welcome one of the best pitching staffs in baseball for a three-game set.
We’re only six games into the season, so take the stats with a grain of salt, but only the Mets have put up better pitching numbers than the Giants so. Thankfully the Guardians will avoid Logan Webb — who has been masterful in his two starts — but they open the series against Carlos Rodón. You may remember him as the one who was one of the three pitchers to no-hit the Guardians last season as a member of the White Sox.
