Final Braves-Twins Prediction & Pick
While Simeon Woods Richardson has not been great this year, he has been solid. Spencer Schwellenbach has been pitching at approximately the same level this year as well. The difference in this one will be the two offensive units. The Twins have been better all year, and much better in the last week. With the Braves dealing with a litany of injuries, they will struggle to score in this game. The Twins will be able to score enough to take a lead and hold it in this one, so take them for the win.
