Twins vs Padres Expert Betting Advice<\/h2>\n

This will be the first and only head-to-head series between these teams in the 2023 campaign as this is interleague play. The Padres won two of three games played in Minnesota in July of 2022.<\/p>\n

San Diego prevailed in games one & three 10-1 and 3-2 while the Twins took game two 7-4. This series features exclusively right-handed pitching on both sides across all three games.<\/p>\n

Runs could be at a premium as these lineups rank 24th and dead last in batting average against right-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n

However the Padres big bats have great track records against Pablo Lopez in Game 2. Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth are both 3-6 against Lopez. But what really stands out is Juan Soto going 9-25 with two home runs and three doubles.<\/p>\n

Look for an over on the Padres team total in Game 2<\/strong>. Game 3 on the other hand, should be a low scoring affair as both Darvish and Ober have been spot on. Play the under in the first five innings of Game 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
