Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Carlos Carrasco gets the call for Sunday's series finale with the Los Angeles Angels. Carrasco is looking to turn things around after experiencing a few consecutive rough starts. After allowing seven runs in his first four starts (17.1 innings), Carrasco has given up 13 runs in his last two starts (9 innings). This is something that has to turn around immediately if the Guardians are going to continue having the 37-year-old veteran in their rotation. 

Carrasco has only faced two available Angels batters more than five times and has been successful in those matchups. Ehire Adrianza is 2-13 with four strikeouts, while Kevin Pillar has two hits in 15 at-bats, one of which was a triple. 

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

The Angels will be handing the ball off to Griffin Canning for the decisive third game of the series. Canning has been somewhat consistent this season, but not in a good way. In four of his starts, The 27-year-old has allowed four runs or more and has failed to reach 6 innings pitched in any of his starts. If this continues into Sunday's start, it could mean good things for the Guardians.

As a team, the Guardians have 14 hits in 35 at-bats against Canning, with Ramon Laureano's 7-17 mark leading the way. Five of Laureano's seven hits have gone for extra bases, including three home runs and two doubles.
