Twins vs Mariners Prediction
Bradley has been strong through 34 innings and it makes the Twins worth a look in the plus-money role. However, the Twins are piling up the losses and not a team I’m excited to back. Kirby has a 2.97 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 39.1 innings, and the Mariners are playing better ball overall. The Mariners have put up crooked numbers all week, while the Twins have scored 2 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 5 games. The price is cheap. The Mariners have to be one of the stronger plays on Wednesday night.
