Twins vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Diamondbacks are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Twins and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Arizona.

The Twins have been red-hot lately with a 5-1 record in their last 6 games and their offense has caught fire, having scored at least 9 runs in three of their last four games. I certainly do not trust a guy that just came from the minors to keep the red-hot Twins offense at bay, while Paredes has looked ok in limited action (13.6 innings pitched) so far this season. Take the Twins to win this one on the road.
