NY Mets vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’ll go with the Mets here. Severino is cruising along well these days. In his last three starts combined, Severino is 2-0 with four earned runs in 17.2 total innings. As for Lopez, he’s doing well himself, with five earned in 19.0 innings over his last three starts. Should be a fun matchup.
On Tuesday, the Mets only notched five team hits, but it was enough behind a stellar pitching performance. Following Manaea, the bullpen gave up no hits and just one walk over 2.0 innings. I’d like to see some more action from the bats on Wednesday, but New York should be in good shape regardless.
