Twins vs Mariners Prediction

The Twins won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four. I am going with the Mariners in this one, although I expect a tight affair. Luis Castillo allowed a .218 BA in 78 at-bats against Minnesota in his career, and he registered four quality starts of five in May. Chris Paddack, on the other hand, experienced an even better month (May), and even though I believe he will perform well on Sunday, I am leaning toward the Mariners here. Don’t be surprised if this game goes to extra innings.
