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?
