Twins vs Guardians Prediction
Game 1 Prediction: Allen has been hit or miss this season, especially on the road, where he has a 5.01 ERA and .267 allowed batting average. It doesn’t matter, as the Guardians have lost one game since September 5. The Twins have underachieved all year and while Ryan has been strong this year, he’s allowed 8 hits and 7 runs in his last 6 innings. Ryan has allowed 13 runs in his last 18 innings. It looks like Ryan may be running out of gas. Either way, the Guardians are as hot as fish grease. Give me the Guardians.
Game 2 Prediction: The Twins have lost 13 of the last 15 games Ober has pitched. That’s really all that needs to be said. The Guardians are rolling and fighting for a playoff spot, and I doubt it gets tripped up by a pitcher who can’t lead his team to a victory. Give me the Guardians for a sweep of the doubleheader on Saturday.
