The Cleveland Guardians pitching staff has a 3.79 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Steven Kwan leads the Cleveland Guardians with 135 hits and 27 RBI, while Chase DeLauter and Brayan Rocchio have combined for 255 hits and 126 RBI.
Gavin Williams gets the ball for the Cleveland Guardians, and he is 13-7 with a 3.78 ERA and 228 strikeouts this season. Williams is 4-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 58 strikeouts in his career against the Minnesota Twins.
The Minnesota Twins are 69-78 on the year and play the Yankees and Angels next. The Minnesota Twins are batting .245 on the season, with a .319 OBP and a .405 slugging percentage. The Minnesota Twins’ pitching staff has a 4.67 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP.

I’m not a fan of pitchers and small sample sizes, but the Guardians are playing the better ball and fighting for a playoff spot. Also, despite just 10 innings, Espino has held his own with a 2.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts. He looks fabulous. Prielipp is a struggling rookie who has allowed 25 earned runs in his last 35.2 innings. We’re getting a pick-em price. It’s hard to turn down the Guardians in this spot.
