Cleveland Guardians Probable Pitcher and Starting Lineup vs Kansas City Royals March 29

Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Gavin Williams takes the mound for the Cleveland Guardians in what will be his first start of the 2025 season. Cleveland is coming off an impressive win on Opening Day and will be looking for that to continue with Williams on the bump.

Williams faced the Royals twice last season, with only three runs coming across to score on four hits and four walks while striking out 12 in 12 innings. Of the Kansas City batters who have more than two career at-bats against Williams, Freddie Fermin (4-7) and Salvador Perez (3-7) have been the most successful while he has kept American League MVP candidate Bobby Witt Jr. in check (2-13, three strikeouts).

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

The Royals will counter with reliever turned starter Seth Lugo, as Kansas City is looking to earn a split and force a rubber match on Sunday.

Lugo was impressive in his first season for the Royals last season, pitching to a 3.00 ERA and 1.089 WHIP while facing an American League-high 836 batters. The Guardians faced Lugo three times last season, averaging two runs against him in those contests. Cleveland is more than likely going to need to score more than two runs against Lugo to have a chance in this one.
