Free MLB Prediction
Toronto starter Mark Buehrle loves pitching at Target Field and has decent historical pitching stats against the Twins roster. After a rough stretch he has been solid over his last four allowing 10 runs over 26 1/3 innings. Twins starter Trevor May has recorded back-to-back quality starts and went a season long 7 innings in his last outing. He’ll be making his first start against Toronto tonight. Both offenses can light up the scoreboard, but the pitching match-up suggests a low scoring game and that’s what we’ll be betting on.
