Minnesota Twins vs Colorado Rockies Pick – 7/20/2025

The Minnesota Twins were favorites in each of the first two games of their series against the Colorado Rockies. But they failed to win in either one of those games at Coors Field. Those two teams will complete their three-game interleague series on Sunday afternoon. Minnesota will look to salvage one of the three games and the Rockies are looking for a sweep. Here, I break down this matchup and give you my Twins vs Rockies prediction for July 20.

Game Snapshot

• Stadium: Coors Field, Denver, CO
• Broadcast: TWTV | ROTV

Key Storylines

• The Twins are looking to bounce back from an embarrassing start to this series against the Rockies.
• Minnesota is four games below .500 for the year and needs to win games like this one to stay in the AL Wild Card hunt.
• Colorado is 50 games below .500 for the season and will try to complete a shocking sweep today.

Pitching form

• Joe Ryan has a WHIP of 0.91 and his command around the strike zone will be tested at Coors Field today.
• German Marquez has struggled mightily for the Rockies this season. His performance will likely determine whether or not the Rockies can get a series sweep.

Bullpen usage

Both bullpens have struggled in this series at Coors Field. But the Twins have certainly struggled more with their relief pitching. Colorado has lit up Minnesota pitching so far in this series and that has to stop for the Twins to get a win here.

Recent team streaks

• Minnesota has lost three games in a row going into today’s game.
• The Rockies have won two straight games and can get a sweep with a third.

Twins vs Rockies Model Projection

Score Projection: Twins 6 – Rockies 3

Win Probability: Twins 70%, Rockies 30%

Final Thoughts

The Twins have played poorly throughout this series against the Colorado Rockies. But I have to believe that Joe Ryan is just the pitcher who can help bring them back. I will lay the runline with the Twins in this game, as they should be able to avoid a sweep at the hands of the worst team in baseball.
