In this Reds vs Twins Prediction, the Twins are coming as -125 home favorites. The Reds have won both games in this series and have been excellent on the road this season with a 7-2 record. Singer takes the mound for the Reds and he is coming off a quality start, going up against Ober, who has given up at least three runs in three of his four starts this season. The Reds have the best bullpen ERA currently in baseball so I like them as an underdog in this spot. Take the Reds on the moneyline for plus money.
