Miami Marlins vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
This price is insane when you consider the Minnesota Twins losing stretch and them looking more and more like a team that doesn't want to make the playoffs. However, the Miami Marlins suck and Edward Cabrera hasn't been good this season despite being a young pitcher with above-average stuff. If the Twins can't win this game to stay in the wild-card race, it's an absolute embarrassment. I'll take the Twins and the RL for max betting value, but their recent efforts have been disgusting.
