In a crucial division series, the Guardians and Twins meet in Cleveland. T. McKenzie vs. Woods Richardson on the mound. The Central division of the American League started on fire when many classified it as the worst in the MLB. It surprises everyone that the Royals, Guardians and Twins all have a winning record and there are no clear clues as to who will win the division title. The Twins are coming off their impressive 12-game winning streak that put them back in contention. But they were stopped abruptly by the Yankees. The Guardians are playing great baseball, they come inspired, playing great defense and being aggressive in baserunning. Steven Kwan's injury is, however, a hard blow. But the offense has been relying as always on the always-performing Jose Ramirez, who is second with the most RBIs in the MLB. The match between starters is interesting, since neither has been too dominant but at the same time, both have fulfilled their role without standing out too much.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

In conclusion, it is a quite interesting series. The Guardians can start to build a much-needed lead over the Twins. But the Twins know how to win, and they do it more on the road. The Guardians won the first two games of the season between them in a short-run game. We expect more of the same, since it has been primarily the Guardians' starting pitching that has kept good offenses making few runs consistently this season. The games at Progressive Field have been low-run games this year. Our prediction for Guardians vs Twins is: Under 8 runs, -105 at FanDuel.
