Minnesota Twins Analysis

The Minnesota Twins have been struggling this season, hitting just .208 as a team with an OPS of .613 and 126 strikeouts against 110 hits. However, they are looking to turn things around behind consistent righty Joe Ryan, who has been sharp in his three outings this season with an impressive 0.71 WHIP and zero walks in 17 innings pitched. Ryan threw seven shutout innings against Kansas City in his last outing, allowing just two hits. The Twins currently have a power ranking of 29 and rank #25 in offense, averaging 3.33 runs per game, and #17 in defense, giving up an average of 4.47 runs per game. Overall, they are 5-11.

Joe Ryan Faces Tough Challenge Against Powerful Mets Lineup

Joe Ryan is a respected pitcher, known for his abilities on the mound. However, he will face a challenging test when pitching against the New York Mets, who possess a strong lineup of offensive players. If the Mets are able to find their rhythm at the plate, it could prove to be a difficult task for the Minnesota Twins to keep up. While it is uncertain how Holmes will perform in the upcoming game, his pitching style, which often results in batters missing the ball, may pose a challenge for the struggling Twins offense. Based on these factors, it is advisable to consider betting on the Mets to secure a victory on the road in this upcoming matchup.
