Cleveland hosts Miami at Progressive Field as the Guardians ride a five-of-six hot streak into a matchup that could swing on bullpen leverage and patient hitting. Janson Junk starts for Miami, a ground-ball pitcher who has kept walks tolerable but surrendered more hits, while Logan Allen counters for Cleveland, bringing steadiness and a favorable home ERA. The Guardians’ recent run has been powered by a deep bullpen and timely offense, even as their lineup ranks modestly in runs.

Miami’s lineup has shown bursts from Kyle Manzardo, and Junk’s style could spark extra-base chances at the spacious Cleveland outfield gaps. Cleveland’s bullpen—Emmanuel Clase, Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith—has been a backbone in close games, underscoring a late-inning edge. The ballpark’s factors tilt toward run prevention for Cleveland, making this a tight, bullpen-driven clash with the potential for late scoring opportunities.

Fantasy angles center on Allen’s home comfort, Junk’s contact-heavy approach against a patient Cleveland lineup, and the Marlins’ righty-lefty platoon dynamics. Expect a grind-it-out game with a few bursts of power and a bullpen battle that could decide the outcome in the final innings.
