Orioles vs Twins Prediction
I’m on the Twins here. I get the case to be made for the Orioles at home, as Baltimore has a solid lineup on paper. The problem is that on paper hasn’t translated to the numbers to get this team to win more often than not this season. The Twins have done a good job of digging out of their early-season hole, and while I’m not the biggest fan of Simeon Woods-Richardson, I think he can be good enough to get the Twins the W here. Give me the Twins in this one.
