AMEDEUS' MLB BOOKIE BATTER!
(MLB) Minnesota vs. Arizona,
Money Line: -116.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
The Twins are coming into this game with a 43-36 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games, gaining ground on the Guardians in the AL Central. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and they are going to be hungry to bounce back from their 5-4 loss to the Diamomdbacks last night. The Diamondbacks have not been great this season, going 39-40, and they have lost 2 of their last 3 games. Their offense has not been great in these either as they have scored just 1 run in 2 of their last 3 games. Ryne Nelson is starting for the Diamondbacks here and he is 5-5 with a 5.18 ERA this season. He has been consistently allowing runs in his starts all season and this is a problem for him going back to last year. He has allowed runs in each of his last 5 as well as 8 of his last 9 starts. He was awful in May, he has been better in June but still has not been great. He also gives up a lot of hits and does not strike out many batters either. Simeon Woods Richardson is starting for the Twins and he is 2-1 with a 3.26 ERA this season. He has been very consistent this season and has not been allowing many runs, allowing 2 earned runs or less in 2 of his last 3 starts. He has also pitched very well on the road as he has allowed 1 earned run or less in 3 of his last 4 road starts. The Twins are going to get to Nelson for some runs here while Woods Richardson has been more reliable for the Twins. The Twins have also been hot with their offense recently and have the better bullpen. The Twins will win this game.
