The Minnesota Twins got back on track with a 9-6 win to open their road series against the Athletics on Monday night.

The Twins had alternated sweeps before that, getting swept by the Phillies and Padres while sweeping the Braves in between.

Meanwhile, the A’s are back to their losing ways after winning their final two games in Houston. They had lost five in a row prior to that.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Twins vs. Athletics on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

Twins vs. Athletics Best MLB Prop Bets

Athletics Best MLB Prop Bet

• Gage Jump OVER 2.5 Earned Runs (-137)

Gage Jump is going through the trials and tribulations of a young pitcher in the major leagues. After posting a 2.04 ERA through his first six starts, he has a 6.94 ERA (36 ER in 46.2 IP) in his last 10 outings.

Jump has allowed at least three earned runs in three of his last four starts and seven of his last 10. I can’t see him holding the Twins to two or fewer tonight at home.

Twins vs. Athletics Prediction and Pick

I’m expecting the Twins to jump on the A’s early and never look back in this one. Bradley has been solid recently, and certainly better than Jump.

The Twins still have something to play for, and the A’s are an almost impressively bad 23-41 at home this season.

Pick: Twins -148
