Miami Marlins vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Marlins in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game if it wasn’t Woods Richardson starting for Minnesota as he’s easily been the least effective starter in this Twins rotation so far this season. On the flipside, Meyer’s been one of Miami’s best and I think this is a great bounce back spot for the Fish here. Give me Miami.
