Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is heating up, and I expect him to continue to provide offense this afternoon in a plus-pitching matchup.
Read on to see why he’ll be the feature player in my Blue Jays vs. Twins predictions and free MLB picks for Sunday, April 12.
Twins vs Blue Jays predictions
Twins vs Blue Jays best bet: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 bases (+115)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is heating up after a slow start to the season.
The Toronto Blue Jays slugger has seven hits in his last three games, cruising past today’s posted total of 1.5 bases in each of those outings, averaging 2.33 bases per contest.
He also has had a lot of success against Minnesota Twins starter Taj Bradley.
Vladdy is 7-for-14 against Bradley throughout his career with a 1.286 OPS.
COVERS INTEL: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has a .373 batting average and a career .923 OPS against this Twins pitching staff. 
Twins vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
Jesus Sanchez is also swinging a hot bat. The Jays outfielder has doubled in three straight games, and I’m expecting at least another hit tonight against Bradley, who he’s 3-for-6 against in his career.
Lastly, I’ll take Over 7.5 runs scored in this game. The total has gone over the number in nine of the last 10 meetings between these two teams. I am also expecting some regression from Bradley tonight, who’s underlying numbers aren’t as strong as his 1.08 ERA suggests this early in the season.
Twins vs Blue Jays SGP
- Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 total bases
- Sanchez Over 0.5 hits
- Over 7.5
Twins vs Blue Jays home run pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+440)
This is a half-unit bet.
Guerrero Jr is starting to see his power return this season. He’s recorded 2+ basis in at four straight games, and Bradly gives up a lot of hard contact, ranking 6th percentile in average exit velocity.
Additionally, this is a good matchup for Vladdy, going up against the Twins starter, who throws the four-seamer 41% of the time. Vladdy hit .314 against the pitch last season with 13 homers and a .560 slugging rate.
