Twins Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is the Twins who sit with a 14-11 record overall and even though tye lost on Wednesday, they did win two of three against the New York Yankees. All season the pitching has been what they have leaned on, and on Wednesday, the pitching just wasn’t good enough. The Twins are giving up only 3.76 runs per game which is 6th best in the league.

Shane’s Free Pick

The Royals offense has been an issue all season and it’s not going to get any easier going against Mahle. The Twins offense scored six runs on Wednesday and they are going to score at least that here. The Royals offense isn’t going to be keeping up, and the Twins will get the job done. Back the Twins on the money line.
