Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
The Guardians are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the better pitcher, but they’ve lost four of their last five games and have been shaky offensively. The Twins have quietly won six of their last seven games and are rolling with their lineup and pitching staff. Also, while Paddack has rough numbers on the season, it’s because of a bad season opener. Paddack has allowed seven earned runs in his last 19 innings while striking out 18. Paddack has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last four starts. It’s only a matter of time before the Twins give him some run support. Give me the Twins and the plus money.
