The set-up: Two hungry teams collide in this AL contest on Sunday afternoon and I believe that runs will be plentiful. The visitors go with Randy Dobnak, while the home side goes with Shane Bieber.
The pitchers: Dobnak (0-1, 2.25 ERA) makes a spot start here for Jose Berrios. He's done decently already vs. the Indians on two occasions this year, but that was then and this is now. I think the rookie takes a predictable step back today in this pressure filled afternoon contest.
Bieber (14-7, 3.17) is 3-0 with a 3.83 ERA in seven career starts vs. the Twins. It's difficult to say anything negative about Bieber, so I won't bother. I simply feel that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The pick: Cleveland lost both games of yesterday's double-header and its bid for a fourth consecutive AL Central title is in jeopardy. The Twins on the other hand are inching closer to their first division title since 2010. In my opinion, this one sets up as a high-scoring "slug-fest" on Sunday afternoon.
