NY Mets vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’ll probably stay with the Mets. This one’s going to depend on the starters, though. Festa is coming off one earned in 4.1 innings versus Philly, but he had 12 earned over 10.0 innings prior to that. As for Manaea, he’s given up 10 earned over his last 16.2 innings of work in three starts.
On Monday the Mets had a great evening on both sides. Everybody in the lineup had at least one hit, and eight different players had at least one RBI. New York probably won’t reach those heights in game two but I think they can keep it going with another W.
