Mariners vs Twins Prediction
The Mariners should have the edge at home with Gilbert on the mound, but they’re piling up the losses this week and are looking more and more like the most disappointing team in baseball. Remember, the Mariners were a sexy pick to win the World Series before the season. This team is five games below a .500 record heading down the home stretch. Meanwhile, the Twins are hot and are sitting in a wild card spot currently. This is a game where I ignore the pitching matchup and grab the more favorable price with the better team. Give me the Twins.
