Mets at Twins 7/16/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The New York Mets open a two-game interleague series on the road Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins. The Mets won their second straight on Sunday with a 6-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. Robinson Cano hit a home run for the second straight game in the Mets four-run victory as the Mets won two of three on the road against Miami.

Jorge Polanco leads Minnesota with a .311 batting average and in hits with 115. Max Kepler leads in home runs with 23, while Eddie Rosario leads in RBIs with 60. Minnesota has a .271 batting average while opponents are batting .244. On Tuesday, the Twins will send Michael Pineda to the mound. The right-hander is 6-4 with an ERA of 4.56, 84 Ks and 16 BBs.

Minnesota’s Eddie Rosario is expected back after missing nearly three weeks due to a sprained ankle, and that will give the Twins even more power at the plate. Minnesota has won 5 of Pineda’s last 6 starts overall and 5 of the right-hander’s last 6 starts versus an opponent with a losing record. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 7-3.
