Minnesota Twins vs. Houston Astros Prediction
I’m on the Astros here. I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from the Twins over the last week, as the Twins can run hot and cold, and we’re really seeing evidence of that over that span. Colton Gordon is still getting his feet wet at the major league level, but the early returns have been solid, and the Astros as a whole have been playing really well at home as of late. Give me the Astros here.
