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.

Steven Kwan belted two home runs, but Gunnar Henderson's RBI single in the seventh helped the O's salvage a win in the series.

BOTTOM LINE: The Cleveland Guardians, on a four-game home winning streak, host the Baltimore Orioles. Cleveland is 25-24 at home and 51-50 overall. The Guardians have the eighth-ranked team ERA in the AL at 3.92.
