Minnesota Twins vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/14/26, 9:30 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/14/26 at 9:31 PM in MLB Picks

The Phillies rested on Friday, as did the Twins, after a highly anticipated game at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, which the Phillies won 7-1. However, for a brief moment, the Phillies woke up out of the wild card positions, as the D-backs continue to win and are hot on their heels; it looks like it will be a race for two playoff spots between the Padres, Phillies, and D-backs.

The victory in a picture-perfect setting like the Field of Dreams was perfect for the Phillies; Kyle Schwarber had his second multi-homer game in the last five days, sending two home runs into the corn stalks. Marsh himself said that this was the spark they needed.

The Twins, even with their losing record of 60-63, remain firmly in the AL Wild Card race. But now, as they threaten the Tigers and Rangers, it's more likely for them, since they've finally got their superstar and home run leader, Buxton, back. He went 1-for-4 after missing the previous 14 games with an injury.
