Tampa Bay Rays vs Minnesota Twins 3/20/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The Tampa Bay Rays will meet with the Minnesota Twins in MLB action in Hammond Stadium Fort Myers, FL, on Sunday, March 20, 2022, at 1:05 PM ET. The Rays are returning from their first 100-win season in franchise history, and they’ll rely heavily on a young, inexperienced group of pitchers to put together another successful season.
Ryan Yarbrough and Josh Fleming are expected to return, and Yonny Chirinos and Tommy Romero are expected to contribute at some point.
Shane McClanahan, Shane Baz, Drew Rasmussen, and Luis Patio are among the players to watch. This bunch has a lot of skill but not a lot of experience, which could change in ’22.
On March 9, 1995, an ownership group managed by Vince Naimoli was accepted after nearly three decades of fruitless attempts to get an expansion franchise or persuade existing clubs to relocate to the Tampa Bay area. The team debuted in the MLB in 1998.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Minnesota Twins Predictions 3/20/2022
The Twins did get one big transaction done before the shutdown, and it’ll probably be the one that sticks out the most in the years to follow. Returning from his most spectacular season yet, star center fielder Byron Buxton signed a seven-year, $100 million agreement with a major incentive to stay in Minnesota for the foreseeable future.
Even after moving long-standing front-of-the-rotation regular José Berros to the Blue Jays at the 2021 Trade Deadline, the Twins backed up their stance that they weren’t planning on a rebuild by keeping their superstar-caliber outfield keystone in the fold long term.
Michael Pineda and Andrelton Simmons are the Twins’ departing free agents. After Minnesota refused its end of a mutual option, Alex Colomé went free, while John Gant elected for free agency after clearing outright waivers.
According to MLB.com, the Cubs and Simmons agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal (with incentives). According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Colomé agreed to a one-year deal with the Rockies.
- The Twins are 3-2 in their last 5 matches.
- Tampa Bay is 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
- The totals went OVER in 3 of the Twins’ last 5 matches.
Tampa Bay Rays vs Minnesota Twins. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota still has a lot of pitching needs.
With free agents such as Max Scherzer, Robbie Ray, Kevin Gausman, Alex Cobb, Jon Gray, Alex Wood, James Paxton, Steven Matz, and Marcus Stroman already signed, the Twins are likely to need to bolster their current starting rotation, which involves youngsters Joe Ryan, Bailey Ober, Randy Dobnak, and Lewis Thorpe. The Minnesota Twins will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
