Cleveland at Minnesota

Cleveland has a terrific offense, sixth in baseball in runs scored, slugging, and on-base percentage. Cleveland SS Francisco Lindor has recorded multiple hits in nine of his last 13 games. Cleveland is on a 9-3 run and are closing in on a division title. The Indians are 36-17 in divisional play and have ace Corey Kluber (15-9, 3.16 ERA) on the hill, with the team 14-6 his last 20 starts, including 8-0 against losing teams. The talented and balanced Indians are a great bounce back team, 10-4 following a loss. They face a Minnesota offense that is shaky, #19 in on-base percentage with awful pitching. The Twins go with 22-year-old rookie Jose Berrios (2-5, 9.21 ERA), who has suffered the loss in his last four decisions. Batters are hitting .331 off him this season, off an 11-5 defeat to Kansas City the last outing, allowing five runs in five innings. He is 0-4 at home this season with a brutal 9.86 ERA as batters hit .385 off him in this park! Minnesota is on a 7-23 run, as well as 18-40 at home against a right-handed starter, and this is no ordinary righty they are facing. Play Cleveland.
