The Cleveland Indians look like decent value here in the opener of a three-game set with American League Central rivals Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota right-hander Kyle Gibson (8-4, 4.09 ERA) is 3-9 with a 5.46 ERA in 18 career outings against the Tribe and he has had big problems with Jason Kipnis (14-for-33, 11 walks) and Jose Ramirez (10-for-30). Cleveland hands the ball to right-hander Mike Clevinger (2-2, 4.44 ERA) who is 2-2 behind a 3.05 ERA in 10 appearances (seven starts) versus Minnesota.

Minnesota lost six of its last 10 games before the All-Star break while the Indians have won a season-high six consecutive contests. We can also note that the Twins are just 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Cleveland.

8* play on Cleveland Indians.
