MLB Betting Trends
Minnesota
The Twins are 5-1 in Berrios’ last six Sunday starts, but just 3-12 in his last 15 road starts. They also are just 1-5 in their last six against a winning team.
Seattle
The Mariners have won five straight home games and five straight against AL Central opponents. They also are 5-1 in their last six following a win.
Prediction:
While the Twins are turning to one of their best arms, I am not sure he will be able to be strong enough to overcome Minnesota’s latest hitting woes. The Mariners are pitching well as a staff right now and I think that should continue, even if Leake’s numbers aren’t great. I will stick with Seattle to keep rolling.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners +100
