The Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins will wrap up their 4-game set this afternoon at Target Field. The Twins took the first 2 in a double-header on Friday, but Cleveland bounced back yesterday with a 2-1 win. Today’s expected starter for the Twins is David Festa, who looked sharp in his last outing against the Cubs but is still 2-2 with an elevated ERA of 5.55 and a 1.27 WHIP. The Guardians are expected to give the nod to Tanner Bibee. He has been delivering, with a record of 9-4, a 3.48 ERA, and a 1.09 WHIP. Cleveland sits in the top spot in the AL Central, but Minnesota is on their tail, just 2½ games back. The Guardians would love to get out of the Twin Cities with a split and they should. Cleveland is 9-0 in Bibee’s last 9 road starts against a team with a winning record and have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against their AL Central rival.
