Twins vs Orioles Prediction
I’ll probably stay with the Orioles here. Rodriguez is doing well over his first three starts. In that trio he’s got just five earned in 18.0 total innings. Rodriguez is coming off 5.2 innings with two earned versus the Red Sox.
On Monday the Orioles had a good offensive showing. Five different players had multiple hits in the victory. The bullpen was a little rough when Keegan Akin was out there (0.1 innings; two earned) but otherwise did well. I like the O’s to keep it going in game two.
