AI Game Analysis

Preseason opener in Cleveland carries home edge with Williams' strikeout projection dominating Royals' contact-light spring bats. Ragans solid but cold-weather Progressive suppresses KC offense (hist. AL Central March unders). Ramirez DTD risk offset by Royals' bullpen holes. Model sees 55% Guardians win probability vs fair -122; monitor for open at -110 or better.
