The Cleveland Guardians will open a 3-game set with the San Francisco Giants tonight in the flats. Cleveland owns the best home record in the majors, at 28-10, and will have Tanner Bibee on the hill. Bibee is 7-2 with a 3.47 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, and the Guardians are 7-1 in his last 8 starts in game 1 of a series.

The Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers will play the rubber game of their 3-game set today in an afternoon delight at Target Field. The Twins got shellacked yesterday, 9-2, but bounce back today. Bailey Ober will be tapping the rubber for Minnesota. He is a solid 7-4 with a 4.30 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. Kenta Maeda will get the nod for Detroit. Maeda has been getting roughed up.
