Giants @ Twins – First Pitch: 7:40 p.m.
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, the Giants have shown an unusual tendency to hit right-handed pitchers better than lefties, particularly when on the road. This could play to their advantage as they go up against Gray. The Giants, coming off a big win, seem to be regaining their footing, now standing at .500. However, the reliability of the Twins’ bullpen has been a cause for concern, making the game a more balanced affair than the odds suggest.
The pitching stats for both sides indicate a potential for a low-scoring game. Over the past 30 days, Gray has been performing well for the Twins, sporting an xFIP of 3 and a strikeout percentage over 30%. His ISO power numbers are solid against both lefties (.048) and righties (.070). On the other hand, Cobb has been steady over the last month, maintaining an average xFIP of 4.02. 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.
