The Cleveland Guardians will start their four-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. This is a battle between two teams from the American League Central division. The Guardians lost their previous game whereas the Twins won. This series is highly anticipated as there is a lot at stake.

The Guardians are currently at the top of the AL Central. Going into the final few games of the season, this division is highly competitive. The top three teams are battling it out whereas the bottom two can bid their goodbyes. After a terrific run of games, the Chicago White Sox managed to climb to the second spot. They are not behind the Guardians by a lot, which makes it even more important for the Guardians to hold their ground.

"New win streak loading"- Guardians

Minnesota seem to have lost their way going into the final half of the season. A few weeks ago, they were enjoying sitting at the top. They now find themselves in third place, struggling for the Wild Card spot. Their 4-6 performances over the last 10 have been the worst out of the top three. This series against the Guardians could be a savior for them. They will need to give their everything, starting today.

"Sweep of KC x3" - Twins

Cleveland can't afford to be complacent even if they are on top. A small slip is enough to lose their position. As far as Minnesota is concerned, they have to improve their recent run of games. Only winning and a few helpful mistakes from Chicago can save them now. This four-game series is probably the most exciting one from the entire week.
