The total has gone OVER in seven of the last 10 meetings between the Athletics and the Minnesota Twins.
Will the OVER prevail again in Tuesday’s series opener between these two cellar-dwelling clubs?
Failing to sweep the Los Angeles Angels following a 5-11 extra-inning loss on Sunday, the Athletics turn their attention to their next series against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The A’s are 3-2 in their last five games, scoring 6.3 runs per game and sporting a 4.11 ERA. They are dead last in the AL West with a 56-70 record, though the A’s electric young core has the potential to accomplish great things for the franchise down the road.
The Twins are fourth in the AL Central with a 58-66 record. Minnesota claimed an 8-1 win over World Series contender Detroit Tigers to avoid a four-game sweep. Minnesota is only averaging 3.9 runs per game over its last five games. However, the Twins’ pitching has also been lethal in this stretch, torching their past five foes with a stellar 2.87 ERA.

Our Athletics vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Best Pick: Total Under 8.0 Runs (-105).
Two strong starters will go head-to-head on Tuesday. A’s starter Jacob Lopez hasn’t surrendered a single run in his last four starts. The 27-year-old Lopez is 4-1 with a 1.55 ERA in his last five starts. He will duel against another excellent pitcher in Twins RHP Joe Ryan, who sports a 3-2 record with a 2.73 ERA in his last five starts. And although the Athletics and the Twins have combined for an average of 12.33 runs per game in their last three meetings, there may be a low chance the total score in Game 1 will not exceed eight runs because Lopez and Ryan are the type of hurlers who can set the tone of a match, especially if they find their mark early. Moreover, the Under has been trending on both teams recently. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Athletics' last 5 games on the road and 6 of Minnesota's last 9 games.
Our betting prediction for the Oakland Athletics vs. the Minnesota Twins: Total Under 8.0 Runs.
