Diamondbacks vs Twins Prediction

In this Diamondbacks vs Twins Prediction, the Twins are coming as -145 home favorites. The Twins got the win yesterday, but I don’t trust them to get a second straight one, even with Ryan on the mound. He has been struggling lately, having given up 5+ runs in three of his last four starts. On the flip side, Nelson has been weaker on the road for the Dbacks, with a 4.67 road ERA, and both teams have bottom-5 bullpens, and are better against right-handed pitching, averaging 9.6 runs per game against righties. Yesterday’s game had 17 total runs and I like another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 8 runs.
