Matchup: Houston Astros (Colton Gordon LHP) at Cleveland Guardians (Logan Allen LHP)
Odds: Astros -130, Guardians +110
Analysis:
This game features a left-on-left pitching matchup between Houston’s Colton Gordon and Cleveland’s Logan Allen. While both pitchers are left-handed, their recent performances and team dynamics paint a clearer picture of the potential outcome.
The Astros seem to have a slight edge according to the moneyline, making them the favorites at -130. Several sources point to Houston winning three of their last four matchups against Cleveland (statsalt.com). This suggests that the Astros have historically performed well in this head-to-head.
The Guardians, at +110, are the underdogs. Although facing a left-handed pitcher in Logan Allen at home could give them a slight advantage, recent social media posts suggest some frustration among Guardians fans after a loss to the Yankees (Facebook search results).
Pitching Matchup Breakdown:
- Colton Gordon (Astros): Information on Gordon’s current form and performance is scarce.

Lean: Astros to win.
