My best bet for Twins-Mariners

Twins moneyline

The Twinkies are playing lights-out baseball right now, yet still aren’t getting much respect from oddsmakers. I love Minnesota in this spot as I expect them to tee off against the rusty LeBlanc. The OVER 9 might be worth a look, but my best bet is on the Twins moneyline.

The OVER is 7-0 in LeBlanc's last seven home starts.home The Twins are 2-5 SU in the last seven meetings.away The Twins are 5-1SU in Berrios' last 6 starts.away
