Minnesota Twins vs San Diego Padres Prediction: Bet on over in this exciting matchup

The San Diego Padres and the Minnesota Twins meet in MLB action at Target Field on Thursday.

After taking game 2 of their series against the San Diego Padres and winning, the Minnesota Twins will look to extend their winning streak today in game 3. Ahead of this encounter, Minnesota's overall record is 2-5 in their most recent 7 games, and their record against the NL West is 4-1 in their most recent 5 games, while the under is undefeated in their most recent 5 games overall. Bailey Ober will get the start for Minnesota in this game. He is 2-0 on the season with a 0.98 earned run average and 16 strikeouts.

Minnesota’s 4-3 win against San Diego on Wednesday halted the Padres’ two-game winning streak in this head-to-head showdown. The Padres, on the other hand, will be hoping for a stronger performance here because they have not been reliable in recent encounters. The San Diego Padres have only two victories to their name during the course of their last five games, and they have also suffered two losses. In San Diego's previous seven games following a loss, they are 6-1, and in their last 11 games, they are 8-3. In their last seven interleague meetings, the total has gone under in six of those games.

Bailey Ober has been good up to this point, and the Twins are hitting righties fairly well at home. The figures for Yu Darvish are good if you exclude his performance in Mexico City, and he did win a few games away from home last season, but we think the Twins provide better value, so we will be backing them. Furthermore, we anticipate a high-scoring match, with the two teams expected to be very offensive here.
