Twins vs Blue Jays Prediction
Toronto comes into this series as one of the hottest teams in the MLB over the last two weeks, and they have really jumped up in the AL East standings. The Blue Jays are 11-16 on the road this year, while the Twins are 18-8 at home. Minnesota has also played well over the last few weeks, and their offense was very strong in their last series against the Athletics. The Twins are starting Ober, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts. The Blue Jays are starting Gausman, who has allowed a total of four earned runs in his last 19.2 innings. I like how both of these pitchers have looked recently, and I think we could see a lower-scoring game, so I like the under here.
