Why The Twins Will Cover The Spread/Win
Simeon Woods Richardson has been having a good season. He is having an even better month of July. In four starts this month, the young righty has thrown 22 innings, allowed just 17 hits, walked only 6, and his ERA is 2.86. Woods Richardson has a hot hand at the moment, and that should continue in this game. If he can shutdown the Mets, the Twins will win this game.
The Twins have been hitting well this month. This comes as no surprise as they are a top-10 offense in the MLB. Minnesota also hits for a lot of power. They have the ability to hit multiple home runs a game, and they are one of just a few teams that have scored 500 runs this season. Minnesota has played well at the plate, and if that continues, they will win the game.
Why The Mets Will Cover The Spread/Win
Quintana is another pitcher that has thrown really well in the month of July. He has made four starts which has resulted in 24.2 innings pitched. In those innings, Quintana has allowed just 14 hits, struck out 20, and his ERA is just 2.19. In fact, the Mets have won six of Quintana's last eight starts. If Quintana can continue pitching well, the Mets will win this game.
The Mets have slugged pretty well this season. They are top-1o in slugging percentage, and they have hit the fifth-most home runs in the MLB. Woods Richardson does not get a lot of whiffs, and he allows a pretty high barrel percentage. The Mets have to take advantage of this. They are going to get pitches to hit in this game, so New York just has to capitalize. If they do, they will win this game.
Final Twins-Mets Prediction & Pick
This is going to be a good pitching matchup. Both pitchers are throwing very well this month, and their seasons have not been half bad, either. As for a winner, I am going to go with which offense I think will get the job done in this game, even if it is a low scoring game. That offense for me is the Mets. I will be taking the Mets to win this game straight up.
