Atlanta Braves vs Minnesota Twins Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/20/25, 10:19 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/11/26 at 8:38 AM in MLB Picks

The Braves will want, after the terrible start to the season, to aspire to reach the all-star game by playing baseball close to .500. After the bad streak to start the season, where, among other things, they were left without Profar, they aspire to get back on the winning track based on the return of their ace Strider, and the good moment of Spencer Schwellenbach and they will necessarily want to increase HR production. At the same time, they'll want to have a chance to compete for the division or a Wild Card spot when their star, Acuña, returns.

On Sunday, they'll face the Twins, another team with a disappointing start. In betting, betting against the Twins or Braves has been one of the most lucrative ventures. Those who bet $100 on the Twins and Braves winning in each game of the 2025 season would be losing more than $650 with each team but ultimately profiting if they bet against them.

The Braves will be favorites to take Game 3 despite the fact that Joe Ryan, the Twins' ace with solid numbers like 0.77 WHIP, will be starting the game and Grant Holmes will be on the other side for the Braves, having issued 10 walks in 16.2 innings.
