Blue Jays vs Twins Prediction
Minnesota jumped out to an early lead in game one of this series, but they didn’t get the pitching they needed and ended up with the loss. The Twins are 18-9 at home this year, while the Blue Jays are 12-16 on the road. Toronto has been red hot over the last two weeks, and they will start Gausman, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in two of his last three starts. The Twins are going with Paddack, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. Both of these pitchers are playing at a high level right now, but I think Paddack has the slight advantage. Take the Twins here.
