Twins vs Rangers Prediction
I’ve killed Corbin over the years, as he’s been one of the worst starters in baseball over the last several years. However, credit where it’s due, Corbin has been solid lately. Corbin has allowed 30 hits and 16 earned runs in his last 42.1 innings. However, the Rangers have been shut out in Corbin’s last two starts, so there’s that. Ober has allowed 14 earned runs in his last 36.1 innings. In 38 home innings, Ober has a 3.08 ERA. Early starts usually favor home teams. I’m going to side with the Twins, even with Corbin finally looking like an MLB pitcher for once.
