Orioles vs Twins Prediction
Minnesota comes into this series as one of the hottest teams in the MLB over the last two weeks, but they are just 6-14 on the road. Minnesota has won eight games in a row, and they have allowed two runs or fewer in four of its last five. Baltimore is coming off a series win, but they are just 15-24 on the season and 8-9 at home. In game one, I am going to back Ober, as he has been elite in his last few starts. In game two, it is tough to know what Baltimore will do for their starter, so I will back the Twins again, as Woods Richardson has been serviceable.
