Mariners vs Twins Prediction 

Seattle was able to bounce back from that ugly loss in game one with a big win in game two, and they have won five of their last six games. The Mariners are 5-9 on the road this year, while the Twins are 8-7 at home. Minnesota has lost 10 of their last 12 games and they have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five. The Twins are starting Bradley, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts, while Kirby has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight outings. I think Kirby is the much better pitcher in this game, so I like the Mariners to win here.
