Trends

Minnesota is 4-1 in their last 5 Games and 3-7 in their last 10 Monday Games. The under is 6-2 in Minnesota’s last 8 road Games. Atlanta is 20-8 in their last 28 Games and 43-18 in their last 61 Game one’s of a series. The over is 8-3 in Atlanta’s last 11 Games. Minnesota is 3-9 in these two teams last 12 head to head meetings.

Pick

The Braves come into this Game playing great baseball and they have a decent lead in the NL East over the Marlins. Minnesota is leading their division as well, but they have 10 fewer wins than Atlanta. The Twins are starting Sonny Gray, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. Atlanta is starting Spencer Strider, who has allowed 14 earned runs over his last three starts (15 IP). I think Minnesota can keep this Game close and I am going to take them +1.5 in this matchup.
