Will the home side start a new winning streak?

Two in-form teams meet in the clash between the Minnesota Twins and the Seattle Mariners. We have a baseball betting tip and odds for the game in the American League! The verdict set up at the beginning applies especially to the hosts, the three-time winners of the World Series, most recently 33 years ago, have only lost the last of the past 13 games!

This put them just short of equaling the previous record in franchise history, set in 1991, when they won 15 games in a row – also the season in which they won the MLB championship for the last time. However, the visitors are also in a fairly stable condition. This can be seen from the fact that they have won seven of their last ten games

Minnesota Twins – Statistics & current form

As mentioned, the “Twinkies” have been very stable of late. The most recent series against the Boston Red Sox, who can be regarded as a strong team in the MLB and have a positive record in the American League, also fits into this picture. The hosts achieved two wins in three games against the baseball players from the “Bean City”.

In the penultimate game, pitcher Pablo Lopez, among others, performed brilliantly with eight strike outs in six innings! Edouard Julien has also been solid in the batting so far. The second baseman has already hit seven home runs this season, a number that puts him in a respectable 16th place in the MLB

Jeffers has stepped up

Furthermore, Ryan Jeffers must be mentioned positively from an offensive perspective. The catcher has a batting average of .291, which is above his record from the past four seasons. Against this backdrop, the prediction of at least one round from him in the Twins’ clash against the Mariners seems equally fruitful.

Seattle Mariners – Statistics & current form

The Mariners were founded in 1977 and have not left a major mark in the MLB since then. In the season before last, they at least managed to book a ticket for the postseason again after 21 years, but were beaten in the American League Division Series.

They also missed out on the playoffs again last season, albeit by a very narrow margin. However, things are not going too badly in the current edition of the MLB: the “M’s” have won 19 of the 34 games played

The guests convince with their pitching

In addition, the Mariners’ offense has room for improvement, but the visitors’ pitching is all the better. Only the Boston Red Sox are ahead of Seattle in terms of earned run average. In view of this, betting tips and odds on a maximum of three runs by the home side in the game between the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners are also worth considering

An example of the poor batting record so far is Julio Rodriguez. The center fielder was named “Rookie of the Year” in the American League in the season before last and received an All-Star nomination in each of his first two seasons.

However, the 23-year-old from the Dominican Republic currently has an average of just 0.35 runs and 1.03 hits after 34 league games. In comparison: last season, he still managed 0.66 runs and 1.16 hits per game.

Minnesota Twins – Seattle Mariners head-to-head comparison / H2H record

The last time the teams faced each other was in July last year, when the Mariners narrowly won 8-7 away from home against the Minneapolis baseball team. It was the second win in a row for Seattle in this pairing.

A longer look back, however, shows that the duel is very evenly matched. In the last ten meetings, both teams have five wins each

Minnesota Twins – Seattle Mariners tip

The betting tip for the clash between the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners is for the hosts to win. With just one defeat in their last 13 games, the Twins are currently very stable and are batting more successfully than their upcoming opponents. They have scored 153 runs after 33 games, while their opponents have only scored 124 runs after 34 games

The team will also have Simeon Richardson as their starting pitcher and the 23-year-old is in strong form. In his three games as a starter in this role so far this season, Minnesota have always won and his earned runs average is 2.45. By comparison, Luiz Castillo, who starts as Seattle’s starting pitcher, has a much lower average of 3.46.
