The Arizona Diamondbacks are healthy home favorites against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.

My Twins vs. Diamondbacks predictions and MLB picks see value in backing the snakes to show their bite in a high-scoring win.

Who will win Twins vs Diamondbacks today: Diamondbacks moneyline (-170)

Connor Prielipp ranks in the 25th percentile in Pitcher Run Value and struggles against right-handed hitters.

That is far from ideal going up against the Arizona Diamondbacks, who excel against lefties and project to have seven or eight batters hit from the right-side on Friday night.

The Diamondbacks rank fourth in OPS vs. left-handed pitching this season. Isolating matchups against Top-15 opponents in that category, Prielipp owns an 8.44 ERA and has allowed at least four earned runs in all four starts.

Michael Soroka should get all the run support he needs in this one.

Back Arizona to -190.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Diamondbacks rank second in the majors with a .285 batting average against left-handed pitchers at home.

Twins vs Diamondbacks Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-115)

This total is half a run too low for me.

The Diamondbacks possess a highly productive offense against left-handed pitching, especially at home. They rank fifth in wOBA and third in ISO vs. lefties in Arizona.

When they inevitably chase Prielipp from the game, they will face an underwhelming bullpen that sits 28th in xFIP this season.

The Minnesota Twins should produce as well. Soroka ranks in the 48th percentile in xBA so he’s not exactly untouchable.

Minnesota also enters with a red-hot offense, slotting third in OPS vs. righties in June.

Play the Over to -125.
