Orioles vs Twins Prediction

I’m in Baltimore here. I just don’t love the matchup here for Taj Bradley, as he’s historically had some major issues dealing with Baltimore from his time in Tampa Bay. The Orioles are looking improved from an already talented lineup that was just injured last year, but I think they’re going to be a team to watch and it started from the opening pitch. Give me Baltimore.
