Marlins vs Twins Prediction
The Twins probably should be the pick with Ryan on the mound, as he’s an all-star caliber pitcher with his 2.86 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. The problem is we’re getting plus money with a Marlins team that’s won seven straight games. This is a young Marlins team rolling with confidence, and it seems to have a carry-over effect.
Also, Cabrera is a young, talented pitcher who is coming into his own, which includes allowing 13 hits and six earned runs in his last 18.2 innings. Cabrera has allowed six earned runs in his last 24.1 innings and has 26 strikeouts in those frames. There should be a decent showing from the crowd, given the winning streak. I’ll take a shot with the plus money.
