Giants vs Twins Prediction

Two teams with nothing to play for and two subpar pitchers, I’m leaning toward the over here. Matthews has a 4.74 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 125.1 innings while Tidewell has a 4.56 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 53.1 innings. Matthews has allowed 8 hits and 9 runs in his last 13.1 innings and has a 6.93 ERA and a .270 allowed batting average on the road through 62.1 innings. Tidwell has a 5.88 ERA and a .232 allowed batting average in 26 home innings. I expect runs in this contest. Give me the over.
