Our Cleveland Indians vs Minnesota Twins Pick
This should be a fairly close matchup. In the series opener last night, the Twins rallied to beat the Indians 5-3. Pitching is key here. Odorizzi has had a good season until recently. But coming off the IL with his injury healed, we expect him to be back in form. Cleveland starter Bauer has struggled versus the Twins but is having a solid season. Minnesota has a better offense, but it has been asleep as of late. Last night, it did seem to wake up. Taking everything into consideration, our Cleveland Indians vs Minnesota Twins pick is the Twins at +128.
