The Guardians and Twins are meeting up this weekend for their most important series to date. Along with the White Sox, they're all within just a couple of games of each other for supremacy of the AL Central. It was the Twins leading the division much of the season before the Guardians took the top spot. They've met 11 times so far this year, with a close 6-5 record in Cleveland's favor. They're going to be facing off again in just a week's time, but let's first break down the opener for this series. Along with this same game parlay, be sure to c heck out our MLB picks for all of today's games.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
Jose Ramirez 2+ total bases (+115)
Despite being divisional rivals, these teams haven't played each other in over 2 months. The first 6 meetings were in Minnesota, while the last 5 were in Cleveland. They're 3-3 against one another in those Twins' home games, which is just another reason we're going to focus on player props rather than a side for this matchup. It's clear just how even these teams are, and both have their shortcomings. The Guardians didn't add to their roster at all at the trade deadline, and the Twins have had injuries to guys like Byron Buxton throughout the year. Both Cal Quantrill and Dylan Bundy were also on the mound against one another the last time these teams met. Ironically enough, that was a close 1-run game. Therefore, let’s target our specific players rather than the side.
