Twins vs Orioles prediction
The Orioles are playing the better ball this week, so they’re worth a look here. Of course, it would be nice to see who the Orioles are throwing out there on the mound. With that said, the Twins are better than what they’ve shown recently, and Pablo Lopez at a cheap price feels like a steal. Lopez is an all star caliber pitcher, and I’m willing to overlook him allowing 8 earned runs in his last 9.2 innings. It’s only a matter of time before the Twins flip the switch and Lopez gets back on track. Why not at the same time on Wednesday afternoon? Give me the Twins and the cheap price.
