San Diego Padres vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Cortes has been decent since coming over from Milwaukee, allowing 17 hits and seven runs in his last 21 innings. Cortes has allowed seven runs in his last 27 innings overall. Cortes looks like a pitcher who has turned the corner. The Twins have been a mess all year and Matthews doesn’t provide much confidence, as he has a 5.30 ERA and 1.52 WHIP on the season. Matthews has allowed 15 runs in his last 23.2 innings. Matthews has a 4.42 ERA and .270 allowed batting average in 18.1 home innings. I’m rolling with the Padres and this new and improved Cortes.
