Our Minnesota Twins vs Athletics Prediction
Minnesota is the clear favorite in this game; however, they look to be the best betting option. For one, the Athletics have been terrible recently, having lost each of their last two games and having gone 2-8 over their last 10 games.
In addition to that, the Twins simply have the better starting pitcher in this matchup. This specifically goes to how Matthews pitches at home compared to how Lopez pitches on the road. Lopez has made nine away appearances (six starts) this season, in which he has allowed 22 earned runs over 33.2 innings. As for Matthews, he has made five home starts, having allowed 10 earned runs over 32.0 innings.
Because of how poorly the Athletics have been playing recently and the struggles Lopez has had on the mound, our Minnesota Twins vs Athletics prediction is: Minnesota Twins ML.
