Cleveland Guardians vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’ll try the Twins in this one. Ober needs a bounce-back start, though. In his last outing, Ober took a loss to the Reds with 6.2 innings and five earned runs. In his two starts prior however, Ober gave up just one earned in 13.0 frames. As for Bibee, he’s 1-2 with six earned in 17.0 innings over his last trio.
On Tuesday the Twins got a great pitching effort across the board from Matthews and the bullpen. Five different arms combined for 4.1 innings, no earned, three hits, one walk, and four Ks. I like Minnesota to keep it rolling on Wednesday.
