Cleveland Guardians Probable Pitcher and Starting Lineup vs Kansas City Royals March 30

Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Tanner Bibee gets the start for Sunday's rubber match between the Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals. Bibee was originally slated to start on Opening Day, but an illness resulted in him being scratched and replaced by Ben Lively in their gritty extra-winnings win in Kansas City.

In four starts against Kansas City last season, Bibee allowed 10 runs to score (11 total) on 20 hits and six walks while striking out 22 and walking six. The Royals managed to hit five home runs against BIbee, a trend that cannot continue in 2025 if the Guardians are going to win the season series between the two ballclubs.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

The Royals will counter with Michael Wacha in an attempt to win their second straight game over Cleveland. Wacha was a more than solid addition to Kansas City's rotation in 2024, finishing the season with a 3.35 ERA and 1.194 WHIP in 29 games.

Only three Guardians hitters have recorded multiple hits against Wacha in the past, Jose Ramirez is 4-16, Steven Kwan is 3-14 with a double, and Bo Naylor is 2-4. Cleveland will need others in their lineup to pick up the slack if they are going to come away with a series win in Kansas City.
