Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Guardians gear up to host the Twins, all eyes should be on Travis Bazzana’s performance. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance at the plate, the matchup against Minnesota’s starting pitcher is particularly challenging. The Twins have been stingy with extra-base hits lately, allowing just a handful of players to exceed 1.5 total bases in recent games.
Bazzana, while talented, has struggled against right-handed pitchers like the one he’ll face today, batting under .230 in those matchups this season. Plus, the Guardians' lineup has been inconsistent recently, which isn’t helping his chances to find gaps or power the ball. With the Twins also boasting a solid defensive alignment that could stifle any potential rallies, the under on Bazzana’s total bases feels like a wise play. Expect a tight game where scoring opportunities are scarce, making it tough for him to surpass that 1.5 mark.
