Philadelphia Phillies vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Trusting the Twins right now is something I am interested in, especially with this pitching matchup. Suarez wasn’t as dominant in his last start, but he still sits with an ERA of 2.766, and he’s going to dominate here. The Towns bats aren’t going to make it out of the dugout, and it’s going to be the Phillies that are going to find success here. Back the Phillies on the money line to cash.
