Guardians vs Twins Prediction 

Minnesota was able to snap their losing streak with a low scoring win on Saturday, but they have allowed 6+ runs in three of their last four games. The Twins are 7-13 on the road this year, while the Guardians are 10-8 at home. Cleveland has won three of their last four games, but they have scored three runs or fewer in three of their last five. The Guardians are starting Williams, who has allowed 5, 0, and 6 earned runs in his last three starts, while Minnesota hasn’t announced their plans. I know Williams has had some recent issues, but he is still a very solid pitcher. Take Cleveland to win here.
