A poor recent run has caused Minnesota to give up its pole position in the American Central division. They are 3-7 in the last 10 and have come down to third. Above them are the Chicago White Sox, who are 8-2 in their last 10 outings. Now, the Twins seem to have lost their grip, and the path to the playoffs is almost close. Even the opportunity to defeat the Guardians in a three-game series has started off with a defeat.

The Cleveland Guardians, on the other hand, are first in the division. They have a very slim advantage at the moment and are on the losing side of their streak at 4-6. The regular season is almost over, and it is very important to hold onto that top spot as the post-season approaches. Any slip from here on can lead to them being dethroned. The Guardians are aware of the situation.

Their home (33-30) and away (38-35) averages have kept Cleveland on top. Meanwhile, the White Sox have a terrible home (34-36) record, and Minnesota's away (29-38) is worse. All these statistics helped the Guardians reach the top of the standings. But all is not lost, and if the Twins turn this series around, then anything is possible.
