The Minnesota Twins open a new series with the Houston Astros at Target Field on Thursday, looking to extend their winning streak to three games.

After 0-4 start, the Twins finally seized a breakthrough with back-to-back wins over the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 and 3 of their series. Minnesota unleashed a two-pronged attack as they generated 14 runs and stifled to the White Sox to four runs over the last two games. Harrison Bader comes out of that series as the Twins’ new batting leader with a .250 batting average, 3 home runs and 8 RBIs.

On the flipside, the Astros lost all three games of their series against the San Francisco Giants, sending their record to 2-4. With Justin Verlander and Yusei Kikuchi now pitching for their new teams, Houston’s pitching rotation is at its weakest in years with Framber Valdez now serving as their ace.

Our Houston Astros vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

Thursday’s series opener vs. the Astros presents the Twins an opportunity to keep their win streak intact. Houston’s starting pitcher Hunter Brown is due for his second start this season after giving up two earned runs in a 1-3 loss to the Mets on March 28. Brown hasn’t played well against the Twins in the past three starts. The last time Brown pitched against the Twins, he surrendered 7 earned runs over six innings in a 3-9 loss. Joe Ryan is 1-2 vs. the Astros in his last three starts against the team, but he has done considerably better in this span. In their last three face-offs, The Twins average 8.00 runs per game while the Astros score 6.00 runs per game. Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. Minnesota Twins: Twins will cover -1.5 runs.

Prediction:

 

Minnesota Twins will cover -1.5 runs
