New York Mets at Cleveland Guardians (2026-08-04). Sean Manaea vs Joey Cantillo at Progressive Field.
Starters — Manaea has a 4.42 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 91.2 innings, with 8.64 K/9, 2.95 BB/9, and 1.28 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 2 BB; 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 3 K, 2 BB; and 4.2 IP, 4 ER, 7 K, 2 BB. The recent form is mixed, but two of the last three outings were steadier, even with an overall down trend noted. Cantillo carries a 3.88 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 113.2 innings, with 9.82 K/9, 4.28 BB/9, and 1.03 HR/9. His last three starts were 4.0 IP, 0 ER, 8 K, 1 BB; 3.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 K, 1 BB; and 5.0 IP, 4 ER, 7 K, 3 BB. The strikeout ability stands out, and the listed trend is up, but the walk rate and uneven recent workload still matter.
Teams — New York has a .683 OPS, 457 runs, a .232 team average, and a pitching staff with a 4.10 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. The Mets are 4-6 over their last 10 games. Cleveland has a .680 OPS, 446 runs, a .231 team average, and a staff ERA/WHIP of 3.76 and 1.26. The Guardians are 3-7 in their last 10. Offensively these clubs look very similar by OPS, runs, and batting average, while Cleveland shows the better full-season run prevention profile.
