Lions vs Twins Pick: Under 8
The game here will be a great battle, but it is one that neither team has really been able to come out on top of the other. With that being the case and some great pitching coming to the mound this is a game that we see hitting under 8 runs. Now, if that is the line I would play it because under 8 definitely looks promising to use.
