Cleveland Guardians vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
There’s no reason to go against the Guardians, a team that’s lost one game since September 5, and that includes sweeping a doubleheader yesterday. The Twins look like a team that’s ready for the season to end, and they were shutout twice yesterday. Two teams heading in opposite directions, and the Guardians seem on a mission to make the postseason. I’ll ride the hot hand and roll with the Guardians yet again.
