Athletics vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction

I’m on the Athletics here. I just think that this is where we start to see the Athletics right the ship a little bit. They’ve dug themselves in quite the hole, but Minnesota isn’t deserving of being this kind of favorite in their current form. I think the A’s snag another win here so give me the Athletics.
