Twins vs Guardians
Lakeside bats look ready to send North’s hopes south

Twins (12-16) VS Guardians (15-12)
29 Apr 2025 | 6:10 PM ET | Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH

Stuck in a small losing streak, Cleveland hosts a Minnesota squad that has won four straight but continues to battle some key injuries. Despite the loss of their ace earlier this season, Cleveland’s rotation has remained strong, anchored tonight by a starter who’s been especially effective at limiting hits and runs. Recent trends also favor Cleveland, as their hitters have consistently found success against Minnesota’s pitching, while Minnesota’s offense has struggled mightily on the road, plagued by high strikeout rates. With Cleveland’s bullpen well-rested and currently leading the American League in WHIP, the -155 line still provides decent value on the hotter, healthier side. Grade: B.
Feels like the Guardians are rolling into this one with a decent edge over the Twins, right? When the pitching stays this sharp and the bullpen’s locking things down, it’s tough to bet against them, especially against a Minnesota team that just can’t seem to get out of its own way lately. I’m happy to back Cleveland at this number.

Minnesota sends a starter to the mound coming off a good strikeout performance, and the team arrives carrying a four-game winning streak. Missing several key hitters, the Twins have leaned heavily on a couple of younger bats to generate any semblance of power. Cleveland, winners of six of their last ten, counters with a starter who has excelled at home, while the Guardians’ bullpen remains in peak form after a dominant week. Cleveland’s offense relies largely on small-ball tactics, especially with the cool April air in Progressive Field limiting home runs. With both pitchers in solid form, weakened Minnesota bats, and strong bullpens on both sides, the Under 8 at –112 shapes up as a smart play, earning a value-leaning B grade.
Honestly, it feels like one of those games where you blink and it’s already the sixth inning with barely a couple runs on the board. Given how both teams are built right now, and the way the weather plays into it, taking the under just makes a lot of sense here.

Minnesota gets a boost with the return of a key outfielder as they try to keep a four-game winning streak against a Cleveland team riding a three-game losing run as they deal with some notable injuries. Cleveland’s offense has traditionally found success against Minnesota pitching, but tonight’s starter for the Twins has a strong track record against lineups similar to the Guardians', and a rested bullpen adds another layer of stability. With Cleveland turning to a dependable right-hander and battling some bench depth issues, the chances of a tightly contested, low-scoring game grow stronger, offering value on taking the underdog with the extra insurance run.
Feels like one of those nights where every run is going to feel massive, especially with both teams missing some firepower. Getting a little cushion with the dog in what should be a tight, late-game battle definitely feels like the smarter play.
