Pick
I’m backing the Twins here. I just like what I’ve seen from Bailey Ober up to this point and the Twins are hitting righties fairly well at home. Yu Darvish has solid numbers outside of that start in Mexico City, and he won his fair share of games on the road last season, but the Twins in my opinion are just where the value lies here so I’ll back the Twins.
