Most of Williams' struggles have come at home, where his ERA inflates to 7.54, but he's found himself far more effective on the road, with a 3.03 ERA. It's also worth mentioning that Williams has a pretty nice history against the Royals, with a 2.08 ERA in four career starts. That includes a strong five-inning, two-run outing just last week, giving some reason to think he'll keep the Royals offense in check.
Michael Wacha has been the stalwart for Kansas City with a 3.50 ERA across 139 innings while being quite stingy against Cleveland in his career, having given up one run or fewer in four of five career starts. Despite 'rough outing' in his last start against the Cleveland Guardians, Wacha's overall numbers so far indicate that he might be capable of limiting a Guardians lineup that ranks 21st in batting average and 17th in OPS - both signs of an inconsistent offense.
The Kansas City offense has been extremely bad of late, averaging 2.80 runs per game over their last five. They have struggled greatly against right-handed pitching, posting just a .222 average over their past ten games. With the Cleveland bullpen ranking among the league's best with a 2.48 ERA, there is very little chance of an offensive breakout by the Royals in this matchup.
Cleveland's offense wasn't any more reliable, either. For the year, they averaged 4.55 runs per contest, but if recent form is any indication, which is never a given, then on the road, they are just hitting .228. Furthermore, the Under is 8-2 in Williams' last ten starts and 12-5-1 in Cleveland's last 18 road games - more indicants of a lower-scoring affair.
