Twins at Padres picks and predictions
Prediction
Padres 6, Twins 5
Money line
LEAN PADRES (-150) because they are 4-1 straight up (SU) as home favorites of -140 or greater with Manaea on the mound.
Whereas the Twins (+125) are just 4-7 SU in Bundy’s road starts with a minus-27.0% return on investment (ROI).
Also, Bundy struggles when pitching on short rest. He is 1-2 with a 7.26 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 4 days of rest, both are the worst marks for any of Bundy’s rest splits this season.
It’s only a LEAN to the PADRES (-150) because the Over is my favorite look in this game and the line is moving toward the Twins (+125) even though nearly 80% of the action is on San Diego, per Pregame.com. This line movement means oddsmakers could be laying a trap with the Padres.

Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The Padres -1.5 (+133) isn’t a big enough payout considering they are just 13-28 RL as home favorites and 1-4 RL as home favorites of -140 or greater with Manea on the bump.
On the other hand, the Twins +1.5 (-165) are 14-9 RL as road underdogs and 6-5 RL in Bundy’s road starts.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-110).
The Padres are 8-0-1 O/U vs. AL teams and 11-6-1 O/U in Manaea’s 18 starts. The Twins are 8-1-2 O/U in Bundy’s road starts and 16-6-1 O/U as road underdogs.
