Houston Astros vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

This game is going to be lower scoring. The Twins are averaging 4.86 runs per game, but they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Brown gave up four hits and zero runs in his last start, and he’s going to lockdown in this game. Ryan usually has one bad pitch game that goes out of the ballpark, but outside of that he’s going to be dominant here. Back the under to cash here.
