The Guardians return home after a successful road trip where the bats responded with a couple of big games against the Athletics and Royals. One of the players that was off during yesterday’s eight runs against the Royals, was Rhys Hoskins. Look for Hoskins bat to be a catalyst today, as Hoskins has hit two home runs over his last five games.

Parker Messick likes it under the lights, 3-0 with a 1.72 ERA in five starts. Minnesota has had issues with southpaws, so Messick can keep that run going. Cleveland also faces a left-hander, but its team OPS is 100 points higher against them the last two weeks. Twins starter Connor Prielipp has allowed two runs in each of his three starts, each going only 4-5 innings. That’s an issue for the Twins, whose bullpen ERA the last two weeks is 7.63.
