ROGERS’ 10* MLB THURS. TOP TOTAL
(MLB) Cleveland vs. Minnesota, 06/01/2023 7:40 PM, Score: 6 - 7
Total: 8.00 | -101.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Guardians’ Bibee and the Twins’ Lopez are two young pitchers with very solid results lately. Since being called up April 26th star prospect Bibee has been meeting the high expectations the Guardians have had for him. With a sparkling 2.88 ERA and an improving 1.08 WHIP he should have a more impressive win/loss record but he just can’t seem to get any run support from the light hitting Guardians. In his last outing against the Cards he only allowed 2 hits but was only supported with one run and so he took the loss. Lopez has racked up 81 SO and if you take out the one game against the powerful Dodgers his improving ERA in May would be 2.77. Against the Guardians’ 29th best OPS in the majors, Lopez should lock things down well. The Twins are also in the bottom third of the majors for average and OPS.

Both bullpens have been excellent lately. In their last 10 Cleveland’s relievers have a 1.31 ERA and in their last 5 it is a miniscule .47. The Twins bullpen has excelled lately too with a 2.23 ERA in their last 10.

All of the above, combined with the Guardians’ over/under in their last 10 being 2-8 and the Twins’ over/under being 3-7 in their last 10 (one game was over by .5), point clearly to a low scoring affair. Go with the under to start June right.
