Giants @ Twins – First Pitch: 7:40 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Few Clouds, 80°
 

The Minnesota Twins are hosting the San Francisco Giants in a match that promises to be intriguing. Alex Cobb will be taking the mound for the Giants, facing off against Sonny Gray of the Twins. Minnesota, currently leading their division, is priced at a -156 favorite, with a total set at eight.

Interestingly, his ISO power numbers against left-handed batters are a mere .017, though his right-handed counterparts have fared better with a .153.

Despite temperatures in Minnesota being warm in the 80s, which is typically conducive to higher-scoring games, the strong pitching stats for both teams could steer this match toward an under
