Run Line - 1st 5 Innings -0.5 • Cleveland Guardians

Pick: Cleveland Guardians -0.5 --102 for the first 5 innings. The -0.5 requirement means Cleveland must be leading after five innings; given typical first-inning matchups, home advantage, and the tendency for managers to preserve bullpens early in the game, the matchup dynamics favor the Guardians in the initial five innings.
