    First pitch is set for 2:10 PM ET. Landen Roupp (2–3, 4.89 ERA) will take the mound for the Giants while Pablo López (3–2, 2.18 ERA) will pitch for the Twins.

    Giants vs. Twins Game 3: Prediction & Pick

    Pablo López gives the Twins a decisive advantage on the mound, especially against a Giants lineup that has shown inconsistency outside of a few core players.

    If Minnesota gets even a modest offensive push from Ryan Jeffers or Bryon Buxton, they should be in control. The Giants’ poor showings at the plate are expected to continue with Wilmer Flores & Co. likely looking down at a sweep as they continue to loose footing in NL West.

    Score Prediction: Twins 6, Giants 4

    Picks:

    Twins -142 (ML)

    Over/Under: Lean Over 8.0 Runs
