Game 6 of the ALCS heads back to St. Petersburg on Monday where the home team Rays will send prized trade deadline acquisition Freddy Peralta to the mound. asserted

Rays → head → mound

Peralta and the Rays are a solid -141 favorite (58.51 percent on Novig), while the Guardians will throw Shawn Armstrong out there for the first inning in Game 6. asserted

Guardians → throw → Game

Armstrong, 36, is going to get the beginning of Sunday’s matchup while a combination of bullpen arms is projected to get the bulk of the work for Cleveland. Guardians vs. Rays prediction Peralta pitched wonderfully for the Rays in Game 2 of the ALCS, tossing six scoreless innings, while Armstrong has been strong for the Guardians in October where he hasn’t allowed a run in the postseason. During the season he struggled considerably, with a 4.58 ERA and 1.36 WHIP, so manager Stephen Vogt is showing some legitimate confidence in his reliever to give him the beginning of this game. asserted

Vogt → go → game

The Rays have scored in the first inning twice in five games this series, including in Game 5 where they won 3-1. asserted

they → score → Game

It’s anyone’s guess who will pitch after Armstrong, who is far from a lock to continue this hot play. asserted

who → ’ → play

I expect Armstrong to regress to his usual self pitching for the third consecutive game and whether it’s Tanner Bibee, Joey Cantillo, or a different option, I can’t bet on the full game until I know more about who is actually playing. asserted
