Minnesota Twins vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/31/24, 11:36 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/31/24 at 11:58 AM in MLB Picks

The Mets will look to complete the sweep of the Twins on Wednesday and reaffirm that they are the best team in MLB in the last 2 months. The Mets' hitting, their main weakness in previous seasons, made a miraculous adjustment that has turned them into an unbeatable lineup. Alonso has had another good season, with 26 doubles, 22 HRs, 57 RBIs and a .244 AVG. Martinez has gone 12-for-40 with 3 HRs in the last 10 games. The Mets in their last 10 games have a record of 7-3, a collective AVG of .251 and scored 19 more runs than their opponents in that span. In addition, in that same span they average 1.6 HRs and trade up to 3.0 BB per game.

The Twins, like the Mets, had made a great comeback in their season and since May 20 have the best record in MLB with a record of 34-26, but they were surprised by key injuries at the least opportune moment. Correa, Farmer and Lewis are all out of the starting line-up at the moment due to injury.

Venezuelan Lopez will start for the Twins, with an ERA of 4.73 and a record of 9-7 he has been able to redeem himself somewhat from his poor start. Against the Mets, he has a record of 4-5 with an ERA of 5.54 in 12 starts against them.
