Game Details:

  • Location: Progressive Field, Cleveland
  • First Pitch: 7:10 p.m.
  • Betting Odds: Guardians -109, Twins -101
  • Run Line: Twins +1.5 (-205)

Pitching Matchup:

  • Twins: Dylan Bundy (4-4, 4.80 ERA, 1.28 WHIP)
  • Guardians: Cal Quantrill (4-4, 3.76 ERA, 1.27 WHIP)

Key Stats:

  • Arraez hits .308 against Quantrill in 13 at-bats
  • Twins combined 5-44 against Quantrill (excluding Arraez)
  • Sandy Leon hits .308 with 1 HR against Bundy
  • Guardians acquired Leon from Reds before Tuesday's games

Analysis: Cleveland has the pitching advantage with Quantrill outperforming Bundy this season. The Guardians need this win to have a chance at taking the series. While the Twins have been solid on the road (20-17), Quantrill's strong track record against Minnesota batters gives Cleveland an edge at home.

The key matchup will be Quantrill against the Twins lineup, where only Arraez has found consistent success. If Quantrill maintains his dominance against the rest of Minnesota's order, the Guardians should be positioned to even the series at two games apiece.
