Twins vs Guardians Pick & Prediction
Last time out, Cleveland finished off the doubleheader sweep with a 7-6 win, in 15 innings, Saturday night. The Guardians were in complete control of this game, leading 5-0 heading into the top of the eighth inning, but they blew up in the top of the eighth and were forced to play an extra six innings of baseball. The Twins took the lead in the top of the 13th inning, the first extra inning with a run, but Cleveland responded right away and kept the game going. Minnesota had just seven hits in 15 innings.
Gio Urshela went 3-6 with one walk, two RBIs and one run scored in the loss. Nick Gordon went 1-3 with one home run, one walk, three RBIs and one run scored for Minnesota. Amed Rosario went 4-8 with one home run, four RBIs and one run scored in the win. Kirk McCarty improved to 4-2 and Dereck Rodriguez fell to 0-1 on the season.
Pitching Matchup: Joe Ryan (11-8, 3.83 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) vs Cody Morris (0-1, 2.79 ERA, 1.76 WHIP)
Tonights Pick:
I like Cleveland to continue their great form against Minnesota, the Guardians have won eight in a row, as they look to remove the Twins from the American League Central race this weekend. The Guardians are 9-1 in their last nine games overall and 8-2 in their last 10 games against their AL Central opponents.
