The Minnesota Twins are 53-47 this season and have lost three of their last four games. Minnesota won Game 2 of this series by a score of 7-4 on Saturday. The Minnesota pitching staff has a 4.06 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a .240 opponent batting average this season. The Twins offense has scored 456 runs with a .252 batting average and a .322 on base percentage. Byron Buxton is batting .222 with 26 home runs and 46 RBI’s for the Twins this season. The projected starter for Minnesota is Dylan Bundy, who is 6-4 with a 5.02 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP over 84.1 innings pitched this season.

The San Diego Padres are 56-46 this season and have lost four of their last six games. San Diego won Game 1 of this series by a score of 10-1 on Friday night. The San Diego pitching staff has a 3.78 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and a .230 opponent batting average. The Padres offense has scored 446 runs with a .240 batting average and a .316 on base percentage this year. Manny Machado is batting .297 with 18 home runs and 57 RBI’s for the Padres this season. The projected starter for San Diego is Sean Manaea, who is 5-5 with a 4.33 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP over 104 innings pitched this season.

Minnesota is 10-4 in their last 14 Sunday games and 5-2 in their last 7 game three’s of a series. The over is 14-3-2 in Minnesota’s last 19 games. San Diego is 2-7 in their last 9 interleague games and 1-6 in their last 7 Sunday games. The over is 6-0-1 in San Diego’s last 7 games. Minnesota is 14-3 in these two teams last 17 head to head meetings.

Minnesota was able to win on Saturday to keep a slight edge in the race for the AL Central. San Diego lost on Saturday, but is still sitting in a wild card spot. Minnesota is projected to start Dylan Bundy, who has allowed 12 runs in his last 14.1 innings. For the Padres, Sean Manaea has allowed 13 earned runs over his last 19 innings pitched. The over for both of these teams has been hitting pretty consistently and I think we see another high scoring game here.
