Nobody outside Cleveland is talking about the Guardians right now, and that is exactly how a six game winning streak sneaks up on a division race. While the rest of the AL Central makes noise, the Guardians have just been quietly winning, night after night, without anyone circling them as a threat. Toronto comes to town as the first real name on the schedule to test whether this is a hot week or a legitimate push.
The Blue Jays have their own season to protect and no interest in playing the role of measuring stick for someone else's streak. That tension is the whole game: a team trying to prove six straight wasn't a fluke against a team that would love nothing more than to end it in front of their own crowd. Cleveland has the streak. Toronto has the chance to be the team that stopped it.
So who wins the moneyline: the Guardians riding momentum at home, or the Blue Jays playing spoiler?
