The Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins face off in the Field of Dreams Game on Thursday night in Dyersville, Iowa. After a few years away, the MLB is back for its third game in the cornfields.

The Phillies are hoping this can help turn them around after scoring just one run in their last two games, while the Twins just won two of three from the O's, scoring 18 runs in that series.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Phillies vs. Twins on Thursday, Aug. 13.

Phillies vs. Twins Best MLB Prop Bets

Phillies Best MLB Prop Bet

  • Aaron Nola OVER 5.5 Hits Allowed (+124)

Nola has been a bit better at limiting the damage as of late, but he’s still regularly allowing several hits per game. He’s allowed OVER 5.5 hits in two straight starts, four of five, and six of his last eight outings overall.

The Twins’ bats are hot, so I’ll take them at this plus odds price to get at least six hits off of the Phillies starter.

Phillies vs. Twins Prediction and Pick

Maybe the bright lights of Iowa and the nostalgia can help break the Phillies out of their funk. Maybe. But we’re not betting on a maybe tonight.

I’m a bit surprised that this game is a pick’em given how these teams are playing as of late. Add in the fact that Bradley has been much better than Nola this season, and I’ll happily take Minnesota as the home team tonight.

Pick: Twins -104
