Minnesota Twins vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m backing the Twins here. The Athletics continue to struggle and keep finding different ways to lose as each day goes by, and have gotten back to looking like the Athletics we’ve gotten used to seeing in each of the last couple of seasons. The Twins haven’t been playing overly well as of late in their own right, but the Twins are still the better team by a mile right now, and until the Athletics show a pulse, I have to roll the other way. Give me the Twins in this one to pick up another W and add to the Athletics’ misery.
