Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on Texas in this one. I just think that Texas is in a better position here as the Twins could employ a bullpen game which could be a bad idea considering they have the highest bullpen ERA in baseball in the month of June. Texas is coming off of Sunday night baseball, but MacKenzie Gore gets a good matchup as the Twins have been awful against left-handed pitching in June and the Rangers also have the better bullpen late. Give me Texas.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Texas -155
