Guardians vs Twins Expert Betting Advice<\/h2>\n

This will be the first head-to-head meeting between these teams in the 2023 campaign. The Guardians dominated the regular season series 13-6, going not only 7-3 at home but also 6-3 at Target Field.<\/p>\n

May 5 game feels like a Twins spot as Plesac has been in horrible form while Ober has only allowed two earned runs across 11.1 innings of work.<\/p>\n

May 6 game is a definite under spot in the first five innings as Sony Gray has been lights out while Minnesota is one of the league’s worst teams against left-handed pitching. In the same game, I would look for a hits or total bases over on leadoff man Steven Kwan who is 5-10 with two triples against Gray.<\/p>\n

May 7 game I would look for a under on hits for Polanco assuming it’s not too juicy. Polanco has absolutely zero success against Quantrill as he is 0-16 with no walks in his career. The Guardians also have a top ten bullpen to back him up.<\/p>\n
