Rays vs Twins Odds and Picks (June 11)

Tampa Bay and Minnesota are playing a three-game set in Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. Tampa Bay is second in the AL East and the Twins are the surprise leaders in AL Central.

The game is scheduled for 2:10 pm ET at Target Field in Minneapolis. Tampa Bay is the slight favorite on the odds. The forecast is for clear skies and 76 degrees.

Tampa Bay will give the ball to Shane Baz, who will make his debut in 2022. Baz had a successful audition last season, posting a 2-0 record with a.03 ERA in three starts. He's never faced the Twins before.

Rays are playing the Twins on June 11. Tampa Bay's offense is not very good. The Twins are down three starters due to injury. Chi Chi Gonzalez is the opposing pitcher. He has a lifetime 5.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP.

Tampa Bay is below league average in runs per game and bottom-10 in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS. Minnesota has the fourth lowest team ERA and is ranked top-11 in WAR, K/9 and strand rate. The Twins have scored at least seven runs in four of six games this season. Byron Buxton has hit 17 home runs.

Rays vs Twins is a good bet. Gonzalez has struggled to keep runners off base and keep the ball in the yard in his career. Baz has been impressive at the Majors and Minor League level. Tampa's bullpen is loaded with quality relievers.
