Marlins vs Twins Prediction 

Miami’s long winning streak finally came to an end on Wednesday night, but they can still get the series win in this contest. The Marlins are 18-25 at home this season, while the Twins are 19-28 on the road. Minnesota’s offense has scored a grand total of two runs in their last three games, and they are going against Perez, who has been decent in four outings this year, but hasn’t pitched five innings yet. Minnesota is starting Festa, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five outings, but did allow eight earned runs in each of the other two during that span. I don’t trust Festa at all in this situation, so give me Miami here.
