Why we made this MLB spread pick

The Cleveland Guardians -1.5 at +165 has -2.9% EV against the Pinnacle fair line of +173. However, the pitching matchup significantly favors the Guardians, with Gavin Williams (ERA 3.81, WHIP 1.17, K/9 10.36) having a clear edge over Anthony Kay (ERA 4.50, WHIP 1.43). The Guardians also have a strong platoon advantage, with the White Sox struggling against RHP (.733 OPS) and the Guardians doing poorly against LHP (.657 OPS). The White Sox bullpen is tired (162 pitches in 2d). The HP Umpire, Edwin Moscoso, leans towards the under (8.0 R/g). Sized at 3u — confidence 72, due to strong pitching matchup and platoon advantage, despite the negative EV on the pick.
