Minnesota Twins vs. Houston Astros Prediction

I’m on the Astros here. I get the case to be made for the Twins as the Twins have been winning a lot of Joe Ryan’s starts, and Ryan’s been picking up the win in a lot of his outings as well, and bolstering his strong win-loss record this season. However, the Astros have had his number for the better part of his career, and the Astros are playing their best baseball at home by a mile so far this season. Hunter Brown has also been stellar at Daikin Park so far this season, and I just think that he outduels Ryan here. Give me the Astros.
