Twins Continue to Suck
There is really no other way to put it, the Twins just suck and it all starts with the offense. On Monday, the Twins again had some major issues getting the offense going, and that led to the defeat. Christian Vasquez drove in a run, but he didn’t even have a hit. Joe Ryan wasn’t dominant, but he went five innings, giving up three hits and one run. He had eight strikeouts and two walks. He did play with a little bit of fire, and he didn’t go deep enough. On Sunday, they were able to win 5-1.
The Twins are averaging 3.45 runs per game, while their pitching is giving up 4.25 runs per game. The offense is ranked 24th, while the defense is ranked 15th. A negative run differential of -0.83 is not helping matters. Bailey Ober is going to get the start for the Twins, and he sits with an 0-1 record overall and an ERA of 7.11. The stats are a little inflated, though. The first game, he was awful, but the last two games, he has pitched better. Against the Kansas City Royals, he went six innings, giving up five hits and one run.
Mets Keep Winning
The Mets just keep winning games, and they have all kinds of confidence right now. On Monday the pitching was dominant again and that was enough for the victory. Clay Thomas went five innings, giving up two hits and one run. The bullpen then came in and locked down. On Sunday, the pitching was again good, and they knocked off the Oakland Athletics 8-0.
The Mets are averaging 4.07 runs, while their pitching is giving up 2.73 runs per game. The offense is ranked 15th, while the defense is ranked 2nd. In this game, the pitching is going to need to step up in a major way again. Getting the start for the Mets will be Tylor Megill, and he sits with a 2-1 record and an ERA of 0.63. Against the Miami Marlins, he went four innings, giving up six hits and two runs, but none of them were earned.
Why the Mets Will Beat the Twins
- The Twins have lost each of their last seven night games against NL East opponents that held a winning record.
- The Mets have won each of their last five night games against teams that held a losing record.
- The Twins have failed to cover the run line each of their last seven night games against NL East opponents that held a winning record.
- The Mets have covered the run line in seven of their last eight night games against AL Central opponents.
- The Mets have led after 3 innings in four of their last five road games against AL Central opponents.
- The Twins have trailed after 5 innings in six of their last seven games as underdogs against National League opponents.
New York Mets vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
What do we know about the Twins? They are awful, and the biggest reason is the offense. It’s not going to get any easier in this game going against Megill. The Twins only scored one run on Monday, and this game could be a shutout. Bailey Ober has been better in his last two starts, and he’s going to step up again in a major way. This game is going to struggle to get to even three runs. Back the under to cash here.
