Twins vs. Guardians Prediction and Pick
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
The Guardians put a beatdown on the Twins in the series opener, hitting six home runs off ace Joe Ryan en route to a 13-4 blowout victory. They have a good chance to make it two in a row against Minnesota tonight.
The Twins are starting rookie Kendry Rojas in what should be a bullpen game, while Parker Messick takes the hill for the Guardians in a southpaw showdown.
The Guardians are 21-12 vs. LHP this season, while the Twins are just 13-18. Of course, Cleveland also has home-field advantage in this divisional matchup.
Pick: Guardians (-150)
