Oakland Athletics vs Minnesota Twins. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins. The Minnesota Twins are one of the strongest teams in the American League, while the Oakland Athletics, despite a strong start, are suffering.

The main difference between both clubs during the last 15 days is that Minnesota is third in MLB with an.803 OPS, while Oakland is in the dead last with a.526 OPS.

While Chris Paddack has a history of showing the potential to get going and put some zeroes on the board, Daulton Jefferies is in his 12th game and the seventh start of his career, so we are yet to see what he can be and struggled.
