Guardians News
The Cleveland Guardians are hanging on by a thread, currently sitting at 73-72 after their 6-4 loss to the Orioles yesterday. With just 17 wins needed to clinch a playoff spot, every game feels like a must-win, yet they are spiraling with a -19 run differential this week and a dismal 3.0 runs per game. Amidst this turmoil, the Guardians can find hope in Aaron Judge's return to the Yankees, as it could help them in the Wild Card chase against the Orioles. Meanwhile, there's an interesting twist with former reliever Anthony Gose, who is thriving in the Royals' bullpen without even recording a strikeout, proving that baseball can be just as unpredictable as the Guardians' path to the postseason.
