Minnesota Twins vs. Houston Astros Prediction
I’m backing the Twins here. The Astros just can’t seem to put it together consistently and now send out Mike Burrows who has been one of their weaker starters in 2026, against a Twins lineup that’s smoking righties right now and I don’t think he can match zeroes with Joe Ryan, who has been Minnesota’s staff ace this season. All in all I like the Twins to get it done here so give me Minnesota.
