Cleveland Guardians Probable Pitcher and Starting Lineup vs St. Louis Cardinals September 20

Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Ben Lively takes the mound for the Cleveland Guardians in their first game after securing a spot in the 2024 MLB Postseason. Lively has played a large role in Cleveland getting this far and should continue to do so once the playoffs begin.

Lively appears to be settling back into a groove on the mound, having allowed five hits and zero runs in his last two starts (7 innings). Granted, one of these outings was just 2 innings due to Lively making an early exit, but the fact remains that he has not allowed a run to come across in his last 7 innings on the mound.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Taking the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals in this matchup will be Kyle Gibson. The 36-year-old veteran is pitching at a level that is pretty much expected of him. With a 4.11 ERA and 1.328 WHIP, Gibson is someone who looks to pitch to contact.

The Guardians are quite familar with Gibson and his repertoire on the mound, considering he spent the first seven years of his career with the Minnesota Twins. And while most of Cleveland's players that faced him during that time are no longer with the club, there is one who has routinely hit Gibson well. Jose Ramirez is 16-39 with four doubles and one home run while driving in six and walking five times. Other Guardians with multiple hits against Gibson include Austin Hedges (3-5), Myles Straw (4-15), and Lane Thomas (3-11).
