(MLB) Guardians (CLE) vs. Twins (MIN),
Money Line: -113.00 Guardians (CLE) (Away)
Result: Win
The Guardians are coming into this game with a 68-49 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games, but they are coming off of a 2-1 win against the Twins on Saturday which snapped the 7 game losing streak they were on so they will have some confidence coming into this game. They are going up against a Twins team that is 65-51 this season and they have not been great in their recent games either. They have won 2 of the 3 games against the Guardians so far, but they also have 3 losses in their last 5 games as well. Tanner Bibee is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 9-4 with a 3.48 ERA this season. He has been very consistent all season and has been pitching well in his recent starts as well. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 starts and in 6 of his last 8 starts as well. He has been good on the road as well, allowing 2 earned runs or less in 3 of his last 4 road starts, and he also allowed just 1 earned run in his 1 start against the Twins earlier this season. David Festa is starting for the Twins in this game and he is 2-2 with a 5.55 ERA this season. He has been pitching much better in his recent starts as he allowed 12 earned runs in his first 2 starts and only 3 earned runs in his 3 starts since then. He still does not have a lot of experience starting in the MLB as he is a rookie, and the Twins have not been backing him up with runs either, scoring 3 runs or less in 3 of his last 4 starts. The Guardians have the more consistent starter here as well as the much better bullpen so they will be able to lean on them as the offense gets to this rookie. The Guardians will win this game.
