Twins vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a pick ‘em in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 30-25 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL West. They haven't looked as good in their own ballpark this year, but they still have a 14-13 home record so far. Meanwhile, the Twins have looked good in their games this season with their 30-25 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL Central. They haven't been a great road team though with their 12-17 road record. Both of these teams haven't looked great in their games lately as the Twins are 5-5 in their last 10 games while the Mariners are 4-6, but the Twins definitely have a good pitching matchup that they can take advantage of in this one. Ober is on the mound for the Twins and he has looked great all season. He is 4-1 with a 3.41 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs in any of his starts lately. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start, and the Twins have had a ton of success with him on the mound as they have won 7 of their last 8 games with him starting. The Mariners are going with Miller in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 2-4 with a 5.22 ERA and is coming off a terrible start. He gave up 7 earned runs in 5 innings in his last start and the team has lost 2 games in a row with him starting now. The Mariners didn't look great in their last series against the Nationals either so the Twins can definitely take advantage of them with the way they have been pitching lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“There will be better days than we just experienced out there. If we have the same offensive game the next time we step on the field, we’re going to score a few runs. There is no way we’re going to hit line drives and not score runs.” - Rocco Baldelli after his team’s loss against the Rays in their game on Wednesday.


“I don't know if that's the plan, but I think after one more, I should be feeling ready to go.” - Logan Gilbert on his rehab coming back from an injury.
