Diamondbacks vs Twins Prediction
The Twins are 5-1 in their last 6 head-to-head meetings against the Diamondbacks, having won their last four meetings in Minnesota. Over is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.In this Diamondbacks vs Twins Prediction, the Twins are coming as -130 home favorites. I don’t trust either team in this spot, as the Twins are looking like they have given up on the season, while the Dbacks are putting Pfaadt on the mound, who has been shaky at best, and terrible on the road, with a 7.13 road ERA. Lopez look good in his first start after his injury, and the Twins have a slightly better bullpen. Take the better pitcher playing at home in this one, so take the Minnesota Twins on the moneyline.
