Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on Texas in this one. Zebby Matthews has really struggled away from home this season and I still have concerns about the Twins’ bullpen being able to hold firm later in the game. Rocker’s been solid at home going back to last season and the Rangers have the much better bullpen as well in this one. Give me Texas.
