The Minnesota Twins are looking to get back on track after being embarrassed in their home ballpark against the Houston Astros, and they have the right guy on the mound to do just that. Jose Berrios came into the season as the ace for the Twins, and he is solidifying himself in that role through the early portion of the 2019 season as he is 4-1. The Minnesota Twins are receiving a ton of production out of Eddie Rosario, and I like the fact that the Twins are going up against a true reliever as they have the ability to wear him out in the late innings. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 5-4.
