Guardians vs Twins Betting Prediction

Cleveland was able to ruin Minnesota’s home opener on Friday and get the win in game one of the series, and they have played well to start the season. The Guardians have won three games in a row, including two in a row against a good Seattle team. Minnesota has lost three of their last four and they have scored two runs or fewer in all three losses. Cleveland is going with Carlos Carrasco in this game, who I don’t trust at all. Minnesota is going with Joe Ryan, who pitched very well in his first start. Take the Twins to get the win here.
