Key Stats
Minnesota Twins
Pablo Lopez will take the bump for the Twins in today’s game. Lopez has started the season 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and seven strikeouts. Alex Kiriloff leads the team with a .444 batting average and eight hits. Carlos Correa carries an OBP of .476, Royce Lewis has a team-high one home run, and Byron Buxton has collected four RBIs.
Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians will send Tanner Bibee to the mound for today’s game. Bibee started the season 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA and four strikeouts. Steven Kwan leads the team with a .353 batting average and 12 hits. Jose Ramirez has a team-high one home run and six RBIs, while Andres Gimenez carries an OBP of .438.
Game Prediction
This game features two teams with solid pitching, which means it will likely be a low-scoring game. Minnesota’s offense has been struggling, but the Guardians have been able to score runs with ease. Cleveland has a 5-1-1 Over/Under record this year, whereas the Twins are 2-3-0. I am following my gut in this one and rolling with the Guardians to get it done today.
Final Pick
Cleveland Guardians (+130)
