The read

Look, neither Ortiz (4.73 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) nor Soriano (3.73 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) is going to scare anyone, but Soriano's .277 BAA tells me Cleveland's hitters will see plenty of pitches to drive. The Guardians' everyday bats—Martínez (.270) and Santana (.254)—are simply steadier than the Angels' free-swinging, low-average lineup, which falls off a cliff after O'Hoppe (.260) and Soler (.225). Cleveland's got more ways to scratch out runs, and at home, I trust their situational hitting and bullpen depth to handle an Angels team that can't string rallies together. If you've got the guts, moneyline is the smart, workmanlike play here.
