Minnesota Twins vs Miami Marlins Prediction – 7/3/2025
The Minnesota Twins (41–45) head into LoanDepot Park this Thursday, July 3, as slight favorites over the Miami Marlins (38–46) in the rubber game of their three‑game series. Both clubs have stumbled through inconsistency, with Miami snapping an eight‑game winning streak with Wednesday’s 2–1 loss, and Minnesota managing a road split. With young arms David Festa and Eury Pérez toeing the rubber, bettors have plenty to consider. Here, we make our Twins vs Marlins prediction for Wednesday afternoon. David Festa (2–2, 5.40 ERA) has high strikeout potential, with 9.3 K/9, and six strikeouts in his last outing against Detroit. But he’s allowed 6 HR in 36.2 innings and manages just 4.5 innings per start. Festa’s reverse splits overstate his effectiveness against right‑handers, but recent sharpness suggests he could handcuff Miami’s offense early. Eury Pérez (0–2, 6.19 ERA) has yet to reach five innings in any of his four 2025 starts, with control issues (5.6 BB/9) and a 1.50 WHIP. His command lapses are too frequent. Miami has gone 2–2 in these starts, and their offense was cooled off yesterday, as they will look to get back on track and start a new winning streak today. The Twins’ bullpen showed depth in Wednesday’s opener, combining for five relief innings in a tight 2–1 win. Miami’s bullpen also pitched well yesterday, as both teams hope for similar contributions from their pens to what we saw yesterday. Score Projection: Twins 6 – Marlins 4 Win Probability: Twins 55%, Marlins 45% LoanDepot’s surprising homer-friendly atmosphere, warm afternoon conditions, and two inconsistent right‑handers favor a series win for Minnesota. Buxton’s home run prop is another angle worth playing. We expect a close contest with timely Twins offense pulling away late in a 6–4 win and Minnesota covering the runline.Our Twins vs Marlins Pick
