- Analysis
- *3 Star Play on Padres ML* The Twins are 14-25 since the All Star Break. Minnesota dumped their top two bullpen arms at the trade deadline. They traded away one of their best bats too.
Joe Ryan is a good pitcher, but he has faltered some of late. Ryan likely won't pitch quite as deep into the games late in the season. It would make sense for the Twins to save his arm a bit with them being out of the race.
The Padres have the best bullpen ERA and FIP in baseball this year. This is a bullpen game for the Padres, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing in this case. The Padres have the much better offense and the much better bullpen. The Minnesota bullpen is a big weakness now.
At plus money- I have to back the better overall team.
Take San Diego.
