Minnesota Twins vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
Chris Paddack hasn't been great this season with a 5.18 ERA, and he's been at his worst on the road. Blake Snell hasn't been able to get consistent reps this season, and I'm sure that's played a role in his 7.85 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. Two struggling pitchers and two offenses capable of putting up crooked numbers. Throw in the massive Oracle Park and I expect some fireworks on Sunday afternoon. Give me the over 8 in game 3 between the Twins and Giants.
