Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Diamondbacks here. I still think that Arizona is just the far superior batting lineup offensively especially after all of the offloading that Minnesota did at the trade deadline. I know that the Twins won’t lose every game, and Ryan is still supposed to be Minnesota’s ace, but he’s been shaky at best as of late and I think Arizona gets some revenge here. Give me the Diamondbacks here.
