Philadelphia Phillies vs Minnesota Twins Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
The Philadelphia Phillies, with their payback win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, have established their dominance and superiority. This sets the stage for a winner-takes-series matchup in Game 3 on Wednesday at Target Field. The Phillies, with a convincing 3-0 win, have evened the series at 1-1. Nick Castellanos’ clutch two-run double in the 9th inning was the game-changing moment that sealed the deal for Philadelphia. The team also reaped the rewards of another outstanding pitching performance from Zack Wheeler. Wheeler shut down the Twins, pitching seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. The Phillies have now improved their record to 64-37, establishing a commanding 9-game lead over their closest rivals, the 54-45 Atlanta Braves. The loss for the Twins has brought to light their struggles in delivering key hits in game-turning moments, as was evident in the final inning of Tuesday’s game. Philadelphia is scoring 4.6 runs per game on a .233 BA and a 5.36 ERA over the last ten games, while Minnesota is posting 3.5 runs per game on a .266 batting average and a 3.72 ERA.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Phillies will start Aaron Nola (11-4, 3.54 ERA) a night after unleashing Zack Wheeler all over the Twins. Nola led the Phillies to a win in three out of his last five starts, averaging 7.2 strikeouts with a 2.40 ERA. And while his last game vs. the Twins ended up as one of the worst pitching performances of his career (7.0 earned runs in three innings), it happened way back in 2016 when the Phillies hurler was still trying to find his mark in the league. Expect a different Nola this time around, one capable of striking out 7-8 batters in a game. Our betting prediction for Philadelphia Phillies vs. Minnesota Twins: Aaron Nola Over 6.5 runs, +110, at Draftkings.
