San Diego Padres vs Minnesota Twins Prediction: Twins cannot afford to lose for the third time in a row

The American League Central Division leaders lost twice on the road to Milwaukee and will now travel to San Diego. Will the Twins be able to rehabilitate themselves by beating the Padres? We'll select a few betting options at once.

San Diego Padres

The team had an away stretch ahead of the home games against Minnesota. First, the Padres had a great series at City Field with the New York Mets, taking 2 of 3 games (4:1, 2:1, 5:8) from one of the National League's strongest teams. However, San Diego lost to an underdog Detroit (4:12, 6:4, 3:4).

San Diego's starting pitcher for their upcoming game against Minnesota is Blake Snell, who is 2-5 and has a 4.75 ERA in 12 games this season.

Minnesota Twins

Like San Diego, Minnesota recently played in Detroit and, unlike the Padres, beat the Tigers (8:4, 9:1). The Twins, however, could do nothing in their crucial encounter with Milwaukee and lost twice to the Brewers (6:7, 4:10). In games in San Diego, Minnesota now needs to win. They should not prolong their losing streak as the Twins' position in the division is too precarious. Cleveland is just 1.5 wins behind, and the Chicago White Sox are 3.

Joe Ryan will pitch for Minnesota in the upcoming game, 7-3, and a 2.89 ERA in 15 games this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota continues to struggle against the National League leaders and can't afford to lose for the third time in a row after two losses in Milwaukee. Fortunately for the Twins, Blake Snell will pitch for San Diego in the upcoming game. Against Snell, Minnesota's super-attack has an excellent chance to perform at his best.
