The Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at Oriole Park. 

The Minnesota Twins started out the season slow, but they have been playing some strong baseball as of late winning nine of their last ten games, including the last two games against the Rays. This is a talented offense and over the last two games, they have scored 18 runs. Byron Buxton is playing like an MVP candidate early hitting seven home runs and driving in 12 RBIs. In this game, if the offense is strong, the Twins should be in good shape to win their third game in a row. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Baltimore Orioles who sit with an 8-14 record overall but they have won two games in a row. In the last game against the Red Sox on Sunday, the offense scored nine runs. Anthony Santander had a big game finishing with two hits, one run, and three runs driven in. When these team has struggled it’s usually the pitching staff that has let them down. Santander has been the top player for the Orioles hitting three home runs and driving in 11 RBIs. 

Getting the start for the Twins will be Chris Paddack who sits with an 0-2 record and an ERA of 3.68. 

On the mound for the Orioles is Tyler Wells who sits with an 0-2 record and an ERA of 5.54. In his last start against the Yankees, he went five innings giving up three hits and two runs. 

The Twins are 8-1 in their last nine games overall. The Orioles are 1-4 in their last five home games against a team with a losing road record. The under is 4-0 in the Orioles last four games played on Monday. The over is 4-1 in the Twins last five games on grass. 

Paddack looked better in his last start giving up only one run over 5.1 innings, and he will continue that success into this game. The Twins have scored 18 runs over their last two games and they will continue that against Wells who has had issues. The Twins will score at least eight runs again, and they will cover the run line. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
