Mike Baumann struggled out of the bullpen, going one inning, giving up three hits and two runs. The Marlins are averaging 3.82 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.25 runs per game.

The offense is ranked 28th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 29th. Jake Burger has hit 28 home runs and driven in 69 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Marlins will be Ryan Weathers, who sits with a 3-6 record and an ERA of 3.94. In his last start against the Dodgers, he went 4.1 innings giving up four hits and six runs. 

Twins Need These Wins

In the last game against the Boston Red Sox, the Twins scored three runs, but the defense gave up nine runs. Carols Santana hit 22 home runs and drove in 65 RBIs. The Twins are averaging 4.62 runs, while their defense is giving up 4.48 runs per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 19th. Carlos Santana has hit 22 home runs and driven in 65 RBIs so far this season. 

Getting the start for the Twins will be Bailey Ober who sits with a 12-7 record and an ERA of 3.84. In his last start against the Cleveland Guardians, he went seven innings giving up four hits and two runs. 

Why the Minnesota Twins Will Win

  • The Marlins have lost five of their last six road games against American League opponents.
  • The Twins have won three of their last four home games against NL East opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Marlins have failed to cover the run line in four of their last five games against AL Central opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Twins have covered the run line in three of their last four home games against NL East opponents that held a losing record.

Minnesota Twins vs Miami Marlins Prediction

The Twins need this win, and they are going to get the job done here. The Marlins’ offense has been a major issue all season, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Ober in his last start gave up two runs, and he is going to step up in a big way again here. The Twins offense might not run up the score, but they are going to score at least four runs and that will be enough. Back the Twins on the run line.
