On July 24, 2025, the Cleveland Guardians will host the Baltimore Orioles at Progressive Field for the fourth game of their series. The Guardians are coming off a narrow 3-2 victory against the Orioles on July 23, which adds a competitive edge to this matchup. With the Guardians sitting at 51-50, they are having an average season, while the Orioles, at 44-57, continue to struggle.

Logan Allen is projected to take the mound for the Guardians. He has had a rocky season with a 6-8 record and a 4.06 ERA, ranking him as the 234th best starting pitcher in MLB per advanced statistics. However, he is coming off an uneventful start where he allowed three earned runs in five innings. Allen’s high walk rate (9.6 BB%) might give the Orioles a chance, but their offense has been among the least patient in the league, ranking 3rd for least walks drawn.

Charlie Morton will be on the hill for the Orioles, carrying a 5.58 ERA and a 5-8 record. Morton has had his share of difficulties, getting blown up in his last start, where he allowed seven earned runs over five innings. This season, he has been projected to perform better, as his 4.22 xFIP suggests he has faced some bad luck.

Offensively, the Guardians rank 28th in MLB, struggling with both batting average and on-base percentage, while the Orioles rank 22nd overall. However, the Guardians do have a slight edge in power, ranking 20th in home runs. With both teams facing challenges at the plate, the Guardians may have a narrow advantage given their recent form. The projections suggest a close contest, and given the Guardians’ recent win, they may be poised to build on that momentum.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

  • Charlie Morton – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Compared to average, Charlie Morton has been given more leash than the average pitcher this year, recording an extra 3.3 adjusted pitches each outing.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Tyler O’Neill – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
    Last year, Tyler O’Neill had an average launch angle of 23.7° on his highest exit velocity balls, while this season it has significantly increased to 26.7°.
    Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
  • Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
    Coby Mayo hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40% — 98th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the league’s 8th-deepest CF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

  • Logan Allen – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
    Logan Allen has utilized his slider 5.9% more often this year (24.7%) than he did last season (18.8%).
    Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
  • Daniel Schneemann – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
    Daniel Schneemann has seen a notable increase in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 94.5-mph average to last season’s 90.5-mph average.
    Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
  • Logan Allen – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
    Projected catcher Austin Hedges projects as an elite pitch framer, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
    Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
