San Francisco enters the game with a strong 22-14 record and a notable 22-7 mark against right-handed starters, making them a live underdog here. Their offense has gone cold this series, with just two total runs in the first two games, but they remain dangerous, especially with righty bats like Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores looking to break out.
Rookie starter Landen Roupp gets the nod after an impressive showing against the Angels where he struck out nine over seven innings. His curveball has been his out pitch, and with a developing cutter and changeup, he has the tools to compete with a confident Twins lineup.
Betting On Minnesota Twins
- 1XBet Spread:
- 1XBet Over/Under:
- 1XBet Moneyline:
Minnesota is red-hot with seven consecutive wins and a dominant home record of 14-6. Their pitching has led the way during this stretch, allowing just two runs combined in the first two games against San Francisco.
Pablo López starts for the Twins and has been excellent this year, posting a 3–2 record and a sharp 2.18 ERA. He went seven innings of one-run ball in his last outing against Baltimore and will be tasked with keeping the Giants’ righty-heavy lineup in check.
MatchPlug Prediction For Giants VS Twins
This is a classic value spot. The Twins are rolling, but the Giants have played close games all series and thrive against right-handed pitching. Landen Roupp is ascending, and with the Giants catching +120 odds, the risk-reward angle favors backing San Francisco to snap Minnesota’s streak.
