Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

The Cleveland Guardians will have Gavin Williams start their second game with the Minnesota Twins. Cleveland is coming off a dramatic 4-3 victory on Monday night to get the series started off on the right foot and will be looking for that to continue on Tuesday.

It has been a rough second year for Williams, as he is yet to settle into a groove on the mound. Williams has experienced quite a bit of difficulty in 2024, with each start varying in levels of effectiveness. There have been times that have seen Williams completely shut down an opponent and others when he gets chased rather early, which puts some pressure on Cleveland's bullpen to pick up the slack.

The good news is that in Williams' one start against Minnesota earlier this season, he allowed just one run on four hits in 6 innings. Perhaps facing an opponent with a previous track record of success just over a month ago will get Williams back on the right track for the stretch run and beyond.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Zebby Matthews gets the nod for the Minnesota Twins. The 24-year-old right-hander has allowed 20 runs (23 total) in 25.1 innings this season. Giving up the long ball has been a big issue for Matthews, as he has surrendered 8 home runs in just six appearances.
