The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Diamondbacks have looked good in their games this season with their 38-36 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL West. They have looked a lot better in their own ballpark though with their 23-15 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Twins haven't looked great in their games this season with their 36-40 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL Central. They haven't been a good road team either with their 16-21 road record this year. The Diamondbacks just won their last series against the Angels who have been one of the worst teams in MLB, but they are still only 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Twins have been starting to get hot now, going 6-4 in their last 10 games, and they just swept the Rangers on the road in their last series. Bradley is on the mound for the Twins in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 5-3 with a 4.14 ERA and the team hasn't been having success with him lately. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with him starting and he is coming off another bad start in which he gave up 4 earned runs, but somehow he is still the better starter in this one. The Diamondbacks are going with Gallen in this one and he has looked terrible this season. He is 3-5 with a 5.35 ERA and his team hasn't had much success with him either. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with him starting and he is coming off another bad start in which he gave up 3 earned runs which has been a common theme for him. The Diamondbacks haven't had a great offense this season either while the Twins offense has been getting really hot lately, so look for the Twins to take advantage of this pitching matchup. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.

“Our offense did a good job. They came in, and they put pressure on, from sometimes the first hitter of the game, but throughout, and then they continued that. Overall, just a really good team offensive effort throughout the series. Everybody contributed.” - Derek Shelton after his team’s win against the Rangers in their game on Thursday.

“I think the dugout felt an immediate sigh of relief and took the air out of some very tense moments and games over the past 12, 14 days. And that’s what we want guys to do. We want them to come up, build an inning, see pitches, have their type of at-bat and then when the right person in the right situation comes up and slugs and breaks the game open, it’s not by accident.” - Torey Lovullo after his team’s win against the LA Angels in their game on Wednesday.
