Colorado Rockies vs Minnesota Twins Betting Preview

On June 10, 2024, the Minnesota Twins will host the Colorado Rockies at Target Field in an interleague matchup. The Twins, with a record of 34-31, are having an above-average season and find themselves as big favorites with a moneyline of -210, giving them an implied win probability of 65%. Meanwhile, the Rockies are struggling, holding a 23-42 record and coming in as underdogs with a moneyline of +180 and an implied win probability of 35%.

The Twins will send right-hander Chris Paddack to the mound. Paddack, ranked as the 113th best starting pitcher by advanced-stat Power Rankings, is considered average among his peers. On the other side, the Rockies will counter with right-hander Dakota Hudson, one of the worst pitchers in MLB according to the same rankings. This stark difference in pitching talent is a critical factor in the Twins' favor.

In terms of offense, the Twins have shown more power with their bats, ranking 11th in team home runs this season. However, their overall batting average ranks 24th, which is below average. The Rockies, on the other hand, rank 11th in team batting average but have struggled with power, sitting at 27th in team home runs. This contrast in offensive strengths could make for an interesting dynamic in the game.

Manuel Margot has been a standout for the Twins over the last week, boasting a .400 batting average and a 1.100 OPS in the past four games. For the Rockies, Elias Diaz has been their best hitter recently, recording eight hits, four RBIs, and a home run in his last six games with a .333 batting average and a .926 OPS.

THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, projects the Twins to score an average of 4.88 runs in this game, while the Rockies are projected to score 3.60 runs. Given the significant edge in both pitching and power hitting, the Twins are positioned to capitalize on their home-field advantage and continue their above-average season against a struggling Rockies squad.
