Mariners vs Twins Prediction
The Mariners should get the benefit of the doubt at home, but they’ve had issues all season stringing wins together, and now it looks like they’re sellers at the deadline with the recent move they just made. The Twins are having the better week, playing the better ball, and Bradley has been solid with a 3.65 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Bradley is coming off a July where he allowed 25 hits and 12 runs in 37 innings. Plus money to fade the underachieving Mariners. I’ll take it. Give me the Twins.
