LG Twins vs NC Dinos 5/1/24 Pick: NC Dinos
It is very hard to pick against the NC Dinos on their home field. The Dinos will be able to get the win here based off of their stronger home record, but also the better overall pitching that is present from the Dinos staff. That is going to make it easier to see the Dinos picking up the win, but in this game here I think the Twins are going to do well enough on the pitching side to keep this game on the under.
