Astros vs Twins Prediction

I’m on the Astros here. I get the case to be made for the Twins in spots, but the Twins can be a team that runs very hot and cold. When the run is cold, it’s like dealing with a block of ice, as Minnesota gets frigid real quick. Woods-Richardson didn’t look good in his return to the lineup for Minnesota, and I don’t think it gets any better here. Give me the Astros.
