The Minnesota Twins return home to face off against the Athletics starting on Friday night.

The Twins lost four of the first five games on their road trip before taking the final two in Cleveland. 

On the flip side, the A’s have dropped their last two games after opening their road trip with a win in Arizona.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Athletics vs. Twins on Friday, July 24.

Athletics vs. Twins Probable Pitchers

Jacob Lopez was recalled earlier this month, and he’s made three appearances (two starts) since then. He’s allowed six runs on seven hits with three walks and 11 strikeouts in nine innings in that span.

Zebby Matthews has been struggling recently. He allowed 10 runs (eight earned) on nine hits with three walks and four strikeouts in just three innings last time out against the Cubs. He had allowed four runs in each of his previous two outings as well.

Athletics vs. Twins Best MLB Prop Bets

Athletics Best MLB Prop Bet

  • Ty Soderstrom OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-132)

Ty Soderstrom is riding a modest six-game hitting streak out of the break. He’s 8 for 24 (.333 average) with two home runs in that span.

The outfielder should be hitting second again tonight for the A’s, giving him plenty of chances to either score runs or drive them in.

Athletics vs. Twins Prediction and Pick

These starting pitchers both have ERAs over 5.00, and the bullpens aren’t much better. The A’s have the worst bullpen ERA in the league at 5.60, with Minnesota right there at 5.02.

Minnesota is in a bit of a scoring rut recently, but did break out for 10 runs on Wednesday in Cleveland.

I have to take the OVER given the pitching matchup tonight.

Pick: OVER 9.5 (-111)
