Dodgers vs Guardians Prediction, Picks & Best Bets for May 27, 2025
Overview:
The Los Angeles Dodgers face off with the Cleveland Guardians for Game 2 of their three-game series at Progressive Field. With rising star Tanner Bibee taking the mound for Cleveland and Dustin May dealing for L.A., this matchup features two young arms with something to prove.
Dodgers vs Guardians Best Bet: Tanner Bibee Under 2.5 Earned Runs (+115)
Tanner Bibee has been a beacon of consistency for the Guardians. The right-hander boasts a 1.46 ERA at home in 2025 and has held opponents to Under 2.5 earned runs in five of his last six outings. His pinpoint control and ability to limit damage have made him one of the more under-the-radar pitchers in the AL.
Despite the Dodgers’ powerhouse lineup, Bibee already held them to just two earned runs in a previous outing, and he’s coming off seven scoreless innings against Detroit. With his home dominance and the Dodgers’ occasional road inconsistencies, the Under looks like a strong value play.
