Cleveland Guardians vs The Athletics Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/03/26

Game 3 of this AL non-divisional series will have the Athletics hosting the Guardians, hoping to avoid the sweep.The Guardians put a beat down on the Athletics on Saturday, winning 14-6. On Sunday, we will have a good pitching matchup between Parker Messick for the Guardians and Aaron Civale for the Athletics. Messick has been lights out to begin the year with a 1.73 ERA across 36.1 innings. Dating back to March 30^th, he has only given up a total of 7 earned runs across 6 starts. In 2 of his last 3 outings, he has struck out 9 batters and walked no more than 2.

Civale, on the other hand, is coming off a good start of his own, throwing 5 scoreless innings while giving up 5 hits.

These two offenses are ranked in the bottom half of the MLB, averaging only 4.3 runs per game each. Given the dominant starting pitching matchup, I think we are in for a low-scoring afternoon, so I will take the under in this one.
