Minnesota Twins vs Atlanta Braves Prediction 

Atlanta was able to jump on Minnesota early in game one of this series to pick up the win, and they are trying to chase down Philadelphia in the NL East. The Braves are 34-32 on the road, while the Twins are 37-26 at home. Minnesota is battling with Kansas City and Cleveland in the AL Central, but they haven’t been great over the last two weeks. Both of these starting pitchers have had some very solid starts in recent outings, but with Atlanta’s offense not being great this year, I am going to take the Twins at home.
