Pete Alonso has led New York with five home runs and 20 RBIs, while Brandon Nimmo has added four home runs and nine RBIs this year. The projected starting pitcher for New York is TBD.
Minnesota Twins Betting Preview
The Minnesota Twins are 6-12 this season after they won game two on Tuesday night by a score of 6-3. Minnesota trailed 1-0 in the first, and they were tied at two in the fourth, but they scored the next three runs and added an insurance run in the seventh for the win. The Twins recorded 13 hits and they committed one error in the game, while they were led by Lee, who went 1-2 with one home run and one RBI in the win. Minnesota started Ober, who allowed five hits and three earned runs over 6.1 innings in the win, while Duran allowed one hit in the ninth for the save.
Prior to this series, the Twins lost two out of three against the Tigers and three out of four against the Royals. The Minnesota pitching staff has a 3.81 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and a .235 opponent batting average, while their offense has scored 62 runs with a .213 batting average and a .282 on-base percentage this season. Harrison Bader has led Minnesota with three home runs and 11 RBIs, while Byron Buxton has added three home runs and seven RBIs this year. The projected starting pitcher for Minnesota is David Festa, who is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP over 4.2 innings this season.
Mets vs Twins Prediction
These two teams have split the first two games in this series, so they will be looking for the series win here. Minnesota has won two of their last three games, and their offense has scored at least five runs in three of their last five, so it looks like they are starting to come out of their slump to start the season. New York has split their last four games, and they have one of the best pitching staffs in the MLB, but it has yet to announce their starting pitcher for this game. Minnesota is going with Festa, who pitched well against Detroit in his first start, but I can’t count on him holding this powerful New York lineup down. Take the Mets here.
