Twins vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Twins are 6-3 in their last 9 meetings against the Diamondbacks and have won their last two visits in Arizona.
In this Twins vs Diamondbacks Prediction, the Diamondbacks are coming as -185 home favorites. I’m with Arizona in this one. They had an extra day of rest and while the Twins have been hot lately, Prielipp has been struggling with 4+ runs in four of his last five starts and has been terrible on the road. On the flip side, Soroka has given up two runs or less in seven of his last eight starts and has been better at home. On top of that, the Twins have the second-worst bullpen in baseball, so take the Dbacks in this one.
