Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction: Guardians to start this series strong

Major League Baseball move to Target Field, where the Minnes🐭ota Twins will play the Cleveland Guardians. This will be the opener of a four-game series. Which team draws the first blood?

Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins are coming off a series against the Chicago Cubs, which they lost. This team started well in the opener with a 0-3 win. However, they fumbled in game 2, losing 7-3 before scoring just two runs in the finale while conceding 8. Yet, it is worth noting that this team won their prior series against the Chicago Cubs, completing a sweep in a 10-2, 6-2, and 13-7. Heading into this one, the Minnesota Twins have a 63-50 record, leaving them seated 4th in the American League.

Cleveland Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians struggled against the Arizona Diamondbacks and had to redeem themselves in this fixture. In the prior series against the Baltimore Orioles, the Cleveland Guardians won the first two games and then lost the last two. However, they failed to impress against the Arizona Diamondbacks as they suffered a sweeping defeat, losing 6-7, 3-7, and 3-5 in the finale. Yet, this team remains at the top of the American League, pulling off a 67-47 record. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Cleveland Guardians have much to offer in this game after poor performances in recent matches. The Minnesota Twins, however, did not get the result they wanted against the Cubs. Yet, I expect the Guardians to be the improved side here, and despite being on the road, I am picking them for this opener.
