Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Luis Ortiz gets the nod for the Cleveland Guardians in their first of three games against the San Diego Padres. This will be the regular season debut for Ortiz after being acquired by the Guardians this past offseason.

It was a rough spring for Ortiz, allowing 21 runs on 23 hits and 14 walks in 16.2 innings. While spring training stats are not the be-all-end-all, it would have been a lot more encouraging if Cleveland's notable rotation addition had been able to perform better in Arizona.

In previous matchups with Padres hitters, Ortiz has allowed 15 hits in 51 at-bats, with only one extra-base hit, a home run off the bat of Manny Machado. Luis Arraez has one-third of San Diego's hit total against Ortiz in nine at-bats while also walking once.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Kyle Hart will start for San Diego for what will be his first major league appearance since 2020. Hart allowed 19 runs (21 total) on 24 hits and 10 walks in 11 innings pitched across four outings. This will be the first time that anyone in the Guardians' lineup will have faced Hart.
