Minnesota Twins vs. Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m on the Marlins in this one. I get the case to be made for the Twins here as Joe Ryan has been a quality option for them this season, but the thing is the Twins have not been playing all that well as of late and even if Joe Ryan has a strong start here, the Twins’ bullpen has been shaky at best and while Miami’s hasn’t been great either, they’re rolling right now and I think they get the job done here. Give me Miami.
