Diamondbacks versus Guardians Forecast, Bet, Odds for Tuesday, August 19th
On August 19, 2025, the Arizona Diamondbacks will host the Cleveland Guardians at Chase Field, with the first pitch scheduled for 9:40 p.m. EDT. The game will be broadcast on MLB Network.
In this highly anticipated matchup, the probable starting pitchers are Tanner Bibee for the Guardians (9-9 record, 4.56 ERA) and Eduardo Rodriguez for the Diamondbacks (5-7 record, 5.39 ERA).
Regarding the betting trends and odds for this matchup, the Diamondbacks are favored on the moneyline at about -125, while the Guardians are +105 underdogs. The over/under total runs line is set at 9, with slight favoritism towards the under (-115) versus the over (-105).
The Diamondbacks have a strong betting trend in the first five innings, with a 29 wins out of their last 45 home games on the first five innings moneyline. On the other hand, the Guardians perform well on the run line as an away team, hitting the run line in 31 of their last 48 road games.
Despite Eduardo Rodriguez's 5.40 ERA and 1.64 WHIP, he is expected to pitch well in the early stages of the game for the Diamondbacks. Rodriguez has excellent hard-hit and exit-velo rates against opposing hitters, and his ability to limit hard contact will help him against a struggling Cleveland offense.
Tanner Bibee, on the other hand, has a high ground-ball rate and low opposing hard-hit rate, which may help him against the Diamondbacks offense. Bibee's ERA stands at 4.54, with a 1.29 WHIP, and an xERA of 3.68.
However, it's important to note that no recommendation is given for the run line (spread) bet or the Over/Under bet.
The Diamondbacks' offense is trusted more than Cleveland's, potentially allowing them to score runs against Tanner Bibee. With 79% of bets and 79% of the money on the over, the game is expected to be a moderately high-scoring one, close to 9 runs total.
In conclusion, the betting market favors the Diamondbacks slightly, with Tanner Bibee and Eduardo Rodriguez set to take the mound. The game promises to be an exciting one, with both teams showing potential to shine.
