Guardians Greatest Question Becoming Cleveland's Biggest Strength

Let's take a look at some stats.

Since May 17, the Guardians have a starter ERA of 3.66, which is the fifth-best in the American League. Cleveland's starters have also accumulated a WHIP of 1.28 and an FIP of 4.13.

It's not just one pitcher that's leading the charge, either. Cleveland's starters have been individually strong, which is why this strength may just be sustainable.

Here's a closer look at the individual stats of Cleveland's starters over this stretch:

Tanner Bibee: 3.58 ERA, 1.14 WHIP
Gavin Williams: 2.70 ERA, 1.14 WHIP
Luis Ortiz: 3.76 ERA, 1.46 WHIP
Slade Cecconi: 3.38 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
Logan Allen: 5.25 ERA, 1.46 WHIP

The recent West Coast road trip is a perfect example of how this rotation is coming to form.

Bibee recently threw a complete game against the Athletics, only allowing four earned runs, but also striking out 10 batters.

Cecconi followed that up in the series finale, pitching 7.0 shutout innings, which is a new career-high for the right-hander.

Back in Cleveland's series against the San Francisco Giants, Williams pitched a quality start in which he gave up just two hits, no runs, and struck out six batters.

Whoever is taking the mound on any given night is giving the Guardians a chance to win. That's something not every organization can currently say about their rotation.

The Guardians' current rotation may not be full of All-Stars or Cy Young candidates Cleveland teams have had in the past, but they're getting the job done, and there's no arguing that.
