The Guardians, who have won eight of their last 10 games, will try to keep the roll going against the Orioles.

Tom Hamilton was describing the Orioles as the most disappointing team in the American League. Maybe, Tom, but the Orioles were not in the ALCS last season. The Guardians are 48-5

Since then, though, Cleveland has been red hot. They’ve won eight of their last 10 games, including a sweep of the Astros and series wins over the White Sox and Athletics, the two worst teams in the American League. Now they’ll get to face the third-worst team, the Orioles, with a chance to keep the good times rolling.

Guardians update (51-51): They’ve won 11 of their last 14 games after going 3-1 against the Orioles. Steven Kwan (.346, four RBI) and Kyle Manzardo (.294, two homers, six RBI) have hit the Royals well this year. Bibee is 1-0 against K.C. this year, while Williams is 2-1 in his last five starts against them.

The first game of a three-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Kansas City Royals has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The Guardians have won 11 of their 13 and five of their last six entering the July 24 matchup with the Baltimore Orioles.
