Free Betting Pick: Minnesota Twins -150
The Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins are two of the biggest surprises in baseball due to their early success, but I have been more impressed with the Minnesota Twins as of recent especially on the road as they are 18-9 on the season. The Tampa Bay Rays only have three healthy starting pitchers which has caused them to start relievers and use an opener, but I am still not a fan of this strategy especially if one of your relievers has a bad outing. The Minnesota Twins will be starting one of their consistent starting pitchers in Kyle Gibson as he is posting a 5-2 record this season. The Minnesota Twins do have a little more pop in their starting lineup, and they will prove that in Tropicana Field. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 5-3.
