Marlins vs Twins Prediction
I’m on the Marlins in this one. I’ve said time and time again that the Twins are one of those teams that you fade when they’re cold and ride when they’re hot. The problem is that right now, the Twins are a walking ice cube, and the advantages they had at one point aren’t paying dividends. When the pitching is on, like it was on Tuesday, the offense is non-existent. When the offense is clicking, the bullpen falters. In the end, I just think that the value is on Miami right now, so I’ll back the Marlins in this one.
