MLB Betting Trends
Cleveland
The Indians have now won 44 of their last 54 against a team with a losing record. They also have won six straight against right-handed starters.
Minnesota
The Twins are just 1-5 in their last six following a loss, but they have won 13 of Berrios’ last 16 home starts.
Prediction:
The Indians are mashing the ball right now, but I think Berrios will give them some problems. He has been one of the real consistent pitchers for the Twins this year. Carasco has comparable numbers, but has been trending on the downside over recent weeks. I think Berrio will give Minnesota a lift and the Twins will end the Indians’ current win streak.
The Pick: Minnesota Twins +105
