Cleveland Guardians at Tampa Bay Rays (2026-07-25). Tanner Bibee vs Nick Martinez at Tropicana Field.
Starters — Tanner Bibee has a 3.86 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 119 innings, with 6.96 K/9, 2.65 BB/9, and 1.51 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 K, 1 BB; 6.2 IP, 1 ER, 3 K, 4 BB; and 4.0 IP, 6 ER, 1 K, 1 BB. The recent line is mixed, but two of the last three were solid after a rough outing, even with a listed downward trend. Nick Martinez carries a 2.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 111.1 innings, with 5.01 K/9, 1.62 BB/9, and 0.89 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 0 K, 1 BB; 5.1 IP, 2 ER, 1 K, 1 BB; and 5.1 IP, 1 ER, 3 K, 1 BB. He is not missing many bats, but the run prevention, control, and home-run suppression have been strong despite the listed downward trend.
Teams — Cleveland enters with a .687 OPS, 420 runs scored, a .232 team average, and a pitching staff at 3.77 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP. The Guardians are 5-5 over their last 10, and their profile points more toward pitching balance than offensive pressure. Tampa Bay has a .739 OPS, 470 runs scored, a .261 team average, and a staff with a 3.83 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. The Rays are 4-6 in their last 10, but the broader season numbers show the more productive lineup and the cleaner overall baserunner prevention.
