Cleveland Guardians vs Kansas City Royals

Gavin Williams is one of the best arms on the board today — ERA 3.63, WHIP 1.08, 244 K in 181.0 IP with a 14-8 record. That elite WHIP and strikeout total give Cleveland a dominant pitching edge. Kansas City's bullpen ERA (4.69) and team struggles (68-91, 2-8 L10) compound the disadvantage. Cleveland has been excellent recently (8-2 L10, 4.7 R/G L10) and while their splits vs LHP are slightly worse (.228/.666), the sheer quality gap between Williams and Cameron justifies the play. At -145, this is at the upper end of neutral value but Williams' performance warrants it.
