Seattle Mariners vs Minnesota Twins Betting Prediction

I don’t trust either of these offenses, and that is going to be the difference here. Kirby in his last start gave up only one run. Paddack sits with an ERA of 4.78, but in his last start he gave up zero runs. The Mariners and Twins offenses are both going to struggle here, and that is going to be the difference here. There will only be three or four runs scored total, and that will be the difference. Back the under to cash here.
