Cleveland Guardians vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Minnesota Twins host the Cleveland Guardians this afternoon for the second game of their 3-game series. The player prop I'm targeting in this game is Joe Ryan under 5.5 strikeouts.
This Cleveland lineup doesn't strike out much, as they have the 2nd-lowest strikeout rate vs. RHP (16.5%) so far this season. Last season, they finished with an18.8% strikeout rate vs. RHP, which was the lowest in baseball. Ryan has 98 career plate appearances against this lineup, and just a 14.3% strikeout percentage. Last season, Ryan recorded 6+ strikeouts in 67% of his starts, but he faced the Guardians three times and went under in all three matchups with 3, 4, and 4 strikeouts.
Despite Ryan's hit rate last season, the books are inviting money on the over by listing it at plus money, which tells me the books also think he may have trouble finding strikeouts against this lineup. Trusting the numbers and the Guardians to put the ball in play today vs. Ryan. Consider taking the under on Joe Ryan's 5.5 strikeouts.
