The Minnesota Twins are 14-9 this season and have won 10 of their last 11 games. Minnesota is coming off of a Game 1 win against Baltimore, by a score of 2-1. The Minnesota pitching staff has a 3.06 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and a .218 opponent batting average this season. The Twins offense has scored 96 runs with a .231 batting average and a .311 on base percentage. Byron Buxton is batting .281 with seven home runs and 12 RBI’s for the Twins this season. The projected starter for Minnesota is Joe Ryan, who is 3-1 with a 1.17 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP over 23 innings pitched this season.
The Baltimore Orioles are 8-15 this season and have won two of their last three games. Prior to the Game 1 loss, Baltimore won two out of three against the Red Sox. The Baltimore pitching staff has a 3.60 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and a .242 opponent batting average. The Orioles offense has scored 72 runs with a .216 batting average and a .300 on base percentage this year. Anthony Santander is batting .243 with three home runs and 11 RBI’s for the Orioles this season. The projected starter for Baltimore is Bruce Zimmerman, who is 1-1 with a 0.93 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP over 19.1 innings pitched this year.
Minnesota is 8-0 in their last 8 games on grass and 10-1 in their last 11 games. The over is 17-8-1 in Minnesota’s last 26 Tuesday games. Baltimore is 28-58 in their last 86 Tuesday games and 22-58 in their last 80 games. The under is 6-1-1 in Baltimore’s last 8 Tuesday games. Minnesota is 36-16 in these two teams last 52 head to head meetings.
Both of these starting pitchers have had a lot of success to start this season and I expect this to be a low scoring game. Minnesota won a low scoring game in Game 1 of the series, but I like the Orioles here. Baltimore is at home and has been playing better of late. I think there is a good amount of value with the Orioles here.
