Twins vs Blue Jays predictions

Twins vs Blue Jays best bet: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 total bases (-105)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is due for some positive regression after a slow start to the year. 

He’s hitting just .268 with only two XBH. However, under the hood, he’s posting a more impressive .299 xBA with a .500 xSLG this season

The Toronto Blue Jays slugger may have started his turnaround in his last outing against the Dodgers, where he went 2-for-3 with a double. 

Additionally, Vladdy matches up well against Simeon Woods Richardson, resulting in him going 3-for-4 against the Minnesota Twins starter. 

Moreover, Woods Richardson has a career ERA of 11.35 against Toronto.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Despite a 2.31 ERA through his first two starts, Wood Richardson's xERA is 3.99, and he ranks in the 37th percentile in xBA.

Twins vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)

I’ll continue to fade Woods Richardson in this matchup by taking the Over on his earned runs. He’s allowed five runs in each game against the Jays in his career, giving up five homers and a 1.240 OPS in two outings. 

George Springer is starting to turn things around as well with hits and an RBI in back-to-back games. If the Jays pounce on SWR again tonight, he should be in position to drive in another run for a third straight game.

Twins vs Blue Jays home run pick: George Springer (+245)

This is a half unit bet. 

Davis Schneider isn’t on the board quite yet, but if he gets a last-minute start tonight, I’d bet on him to take SWR deep. He’s 4-for-5 with three home runs against the Twins starter. 

The other Jays hitter I like to go deep tonight would be Springer, who showed signs of a turnaround the other night.

His ability to hit the fastball, paired with the 50% usage on that pitch for SWR, should give Springer an edge to take it deep over the wall.
