Minnesota Twins -1.5 (+140) over Cleveland Guardians
To start off our mega parlay, we’re going with the Twins on the run line. Cleveland is bringing out another stud from their pitching rotation in Tanner Bibee who has a 2.88 ERA through 6 starts with a 1-1 record. Bibee was just called up from the minors but has been solid so far this year and posted a 2.13 ERA while in the minors. He will be opposed by Pablo Lopez for the Twins who has a 4.11 ERA through 11 starts with a 3-3 record. Cleveland has been carried by their pitching most of the year and their offense has struggled. They average less than 4 runs per game and have a 0.7 batting fWAR.
The Twins have quite the opposite averaging over 4 runs per game and 5.8 batting fWAR, their hitting is keeping them atop the division for now. The Guardians are only three games back and could make a big swing by winning or sweeping this series, but I think the Twins make it difficult for them. Lopez has dominated the AL Central and is 4-0 in his last 4 starts against the division. Bibee has also looked great statistically but the Guardians have gone on to lose 4 of his 6 starts and haven't scored over 4 runs in any of his starts.
