Seattle Mariners vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Mariners here. I just can’t get behind the Twins in their current form. Seattle has been crushing left-handed pitching as of late and this is only the second start at the major league level for Prielipp. Castillo has had some issues with giving up runs in fairness, but I still think he can have a solid start here and all in all, I have to back him here so give me Seattle.
