The Cleveland Indians have scored 12 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Indians have won eight of their last 10 games when scoring four or more runs. Eddie Rosario leads the Indians with 66 hits and 42 RBI while Jose Ramirez and Amed Rosario have combined for 129 hits and 67 RBI. Sam Hentges gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 6.40 ERA and 37 strikeouts this season. Hentges is 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA and two strikeouts in his career against the Twins.

Happ gets the ball, and he is 3-3 with a 6.09 ERA and 48 strikeouts this season. Happ is 4-2 with a 4.18 ERA and 41 strikeouts in his career against the Indians.
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams with who is on the mound, as both Hentges and Happ have been batting practice for opposing lineups this season. The over would be worth a look if anything. However, the Twins have had a nice week and it looks like their offense is starting to come together. This could be the start of a turning point in the Twins season, as they’ve underachieved all year. Give me the Twins.
