In this article we will formulate a Twins vs Blue Jays prediction for this MLB game on Sunday, May 3rd at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.
The Minnesota Twins are 14-20 this season after they lost two of the first three games in this series by scores of 7-1, 3-7, and 4-11. In game three, Minnesota led 4-2 in the fifth inning, but they didn’t score again in the loss. The Twins recorded seven hits and they committed one error in the game, while they were led by Buxton, who went 1-4 with one home run and one RBI. Prielipp allowed three hits and two earned runs over 5.0 innings, while Garcia picked up the loss in relief. Prior to this series, Minnesota lost two out of three against the Mariners and all three against the Rays .
This season, Minnesota has a 4.50 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP and a .251 opponent batting average, while they have scored 161 runs with a .234 batting average and a .325 on base percentage. Ryan Jeffers has led the Twins with four home runs and 21 RBIs, while Josh Bell has added three home runs and 17 RBIs. The projected starting pitcher for Minnesota is Joe Ryan, who is 2-3 with a 3.76 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP over 38.1 innings pitched this season.
The Toronto Blue Jays are 16-17 this year after they won game three by a score of 11-4 on Saturday afternoon. Toronto trailed 4-2 in the fifth inning, but they scored once in the sixth and eight times in the eighth for the comeback win. The Blue Jays recorded nine hits and they committed one error, while they were led by Valenzuela, who went 1-3 with one home run and three RBIs. Cease allowed seven hits and three earned runs over 7.0 innings for the win, while Miles closed out the game. Prior to this series, Toronto won two out of three against the Red Sox and two out of three against the Guardians.
This season, Toronto has a 4.23 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and a .244 opponent batting average, while they have scored 140 runs with a .250 batting average and a .313 on base percentage. Kazuma Okamoto has led the Blue Jays with eight home runs and 20 RBIs, while Jesus Sanchez has added four home runs and 15 RBIs. The projected starting pitcher for Toronto is Trey Yesavage, who is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP over 5.1 innings pitched this year.
Toronto was able to get a huge eighth inning on Saturday to get the win and they will look for the series win here. The Blue Jays are 6-9 on the road this year, while the Twins are 9-10 at home. Minnesota has allowed 7+ runs in three of their last five games, but they are starting Ryan, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Toronto is going with Yesavage, who was fantastic against the Red Sox in his first outing. I don’t fully trust Yesavage after just one start this year, but I will still back the Jays to win here.
