Predicted Outcome
The Twins look like the better-prepared team heading into this matchup. Joe Ryan has been solid lately, showing good command and consistency, and he’ll be up against a Pirates offense that’s slumping badly at home. Mitch Keller has had flashes of brilliance this season but hasn’t looked sharp over his last few outings, especially under the lights. Minnesota also holds the edge in recent head-to-head meetings and comes in with more momentum. Expect the Twins to control this one from the mound and at the plate — likely covering the run line in a 6–3 type of win.
