Baltimore Orioles vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Baltimore Orioles don't have anything to play for as they're locked into a playoff series already, but it probably doesn't matter. The Minnesota Twins have won just two games since September 18 and look like a team that's ready for the offseason to get here. I have no choice but to lean toward the Orioles, given how the Twins are piling up the losses.
