Rays vs Twins Prediction, Betting Preview
Rays star Junior Caminero is in a great spot, and these odds for him to hit a home run are a bit too high.
The weather in Minnesota should be great for hitting, with winds blowing strongly toward left field and temperatures in the low 90s.
Twins starter Chris Paddack is a favorable matchup for right-handed power, having allowed 1.37 HR/9 over his career. While he's been better this season, he's due for some negative regression.
I have the true odds here about 50 points lower, making this a great bet.
Pick: Junior Caminero Over 0.5 Home Runs (+375; bet365)
