Cleveland Guardians vs Minnesota Twins Predictions 9/9/2022

It makes sense that the Twins would perceive an opportunity to step up and advance in the division as the Guardians struggle.

They recently performed even worse than the Guardians, losing six of their previous seven contests, including three consecutive defeats against the Yankees, excluding Thursday night’s series finale, which was postponed due to an earlier rainout.

The White Sox are the only contender that is currently having a half-decent season.

As they give the ball to starter Dylan Bundy on Friday night, the Twins will try to get things back on track. In 24 starts this season, Bundy has a 4.34 ERA and an 8-6 record.

In 118.1 innings pitched, he walked 25 times and struck out 84 times. In his most recent start, Bundy excelled, blanking the White Sox for 0 runs on 2 hits in 5 innings for a 5-1 victory.

Bundy pitched five innings against Cleveland this year, giving up three runs on six hits, one walk, and one strikeout.

The Cleveland Guardians are 38-33 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 2 of the Guardians’ previous 5 matches.
The totals went OVER in 28 of the Guardians’ 63 last matches at home.

Cleveland Guardians vs Minnesota Twins. The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland defeated the Twins in six of its last eleven games, so the two teams are quite evenly matched. However, primarily as a result of injuries setting them behind, the Twins were a different squad in the second half.

Even though both teams are currently having bad games, the Guardians will win for a few reasons. One, Quantrill has a history of pitching well in pressure situations and broke losing streaks on numerous occasions in recent starts.

Two, due to a rainout, the Twins’ exhausting four-game series in New York was postponed until Thursday night. On Friday night, a worn-out team and bullpen won’t perform well. Bring in the Guardians.

The Cleveland Guardians will win to a predicted score of 5-3.
