Twins vs. Padres Best Bets, Picks & Predictions – July 31: Expect Early Offense

Our MLB expert breaks down his top play and prediction for today’s slate of games below!

Twins vs. Padres Betting Preview

4:10 p.m. ET

 Today’s “Best Bet” is featuring a unique and underrated MLB betting market: 2+ Hits First Inning.

This market hasn’t made much noise in the community just yet, but should soon. Dylan Bundy of the Twins has allowed 18 total hits in his last 14.1 innings pitched. Sean Manaea of the Padres has allowed 15 hits over his last 9.1 innings pitched.

Both pitchers are struggling and this is the perfect opportunity to attack them early with each team’s best hitters. The Twins have the best  first inning batting average in the league, batting .294 as a team.

The Twins are capable of cashing this wager by themselves, with Luis Arraez, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa getting AB’s.

Overall, these are two very good offensive teams and I expect that to correlate on the diamond today resulting in a very high-scoring game.

With both Bundy and Manaea struggling, I think 2+ hits in the first inning should be a breeze. Both teams are capable of cashing this on their own, and the likelihood of each recording one hit is high. Let’s roll!
