Mariners vs Twins Prediction 

Seattle comes into this matchup on a four game winning streak, but three of those four wins came by just one run. The Mariners are 4-8 on the road this year, while the Twins are 7-6 at home. Minnesota is on a lengthy losing streak and they have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five games. The Twins are starting Prielipp, who allowed four hits and two earned runs over 4.0 innings against the Mets in his first start, while Castillo has allowed 2, 1, 7, and 3 earned runs in his last four outings. Take the Mariners to get the road win here, as I trust Castillo way more than Prielipp.
