Houston Astros vs Minnesota Twins 4/7/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Houston Astros will go against the Minnesota Twins in MLB action in Target Field, MN, on Friday, April 7, 2023, at 4:10 PM ET.

 

The Houston Astros made six consecutive appearances in the ALCS, won four AL pennants, and won the World Series twice since 2015.

 

Houston won 106 games in 2022, defeated the Phillies in the World Series and the Mariners and Yankees in the postseason.

 

The Astros did lose Cy Young winner Justin Verlander (18-4, 1.75 ERA) to the Mets in free agency, but the squad overall is still loaded.

 

The Astros began the World Series as the clear favorite despite losing Verlander and Jose Altuve beginning the year on the injured list.

 

The Astros’ season did not start off well. Houston lost two of three meetings to a Detroit Tigers team that is predicted to be among the worst in baseball after splitting a four-game series with the White Sox.

 

Houston did defeat Detroit 8-2 on Wednesday, and they now have more rest before their first game on the road this year.

 

  • The total went OVER in 6 of Houston’s last 6 matches.
  • The Houston Astros are 14-6 SU in their last 20 matches.
  • The Astros are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games with Minnesota.

Houston Astros vs Minnesota Twins Predictions 4/7/2023

 

Minnesota had a 78-84 record the previous year and finished third in the AL Central.

 

Bigger things are anticipated as Minnesota has an over/under win total set at 84.5 and is predicted by Vegas Insider to finish second in the AL Central.

 

The Twins started the year off with four consecutive victories, including a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals and an 11-1 victory over the Miami Mariners to start the second series.

 

The Twins dropped their past two matches against the Miami Marlins 1-0 and 5-2 after a strong start, but they now get to play at home for the first time this year.

 

The Twins were the best defensive team through the first six matches, limiting opponents to just 1.9 runs per game and a lowly.188 batting average.

 

Joey Gallo is the team’s offensive leader with three home runs and seven RBI, and Minnesota ranks 19th in the league with 4.15 runs scored per game.

 

Sonny Gray will debut on Friday (1-0, 0.00 ERA). In a 2-0 victory over the Royals on Saturday, Gray threw five innings of scoreless relief.

 

Gray had an 8-5 record, a 3.08 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP last year. Since 2018, Gray did not face the Astros.

 

  • The Minnesota Twins are 5-2 SU in their last 7 matches.
  • Minnesota is 6-3 SU in their last 9 matches at home.
  • The Twins are 1-7 SU in their last 8 matches at home with the Houston Astros.

Houston Astros vs Minnesota Twins. The MLB pick for this game is the Minnesota Twins. Last year, Houston dominated Minnesota, so this is a nice chance for retaliation.

 

Despite performing their first six matches on the road, the Twins had a better start than Houston despite beginning the season at home.

 

With a 4.13 ERA in games against the White Sox and Tigers to start the season, Houston’s bullpen was not very effective.

 

The Astros’ lineup changed as a result of Altuve’s departure. If Sonny Gray is here, bet on the Twins to win the opening day. The Minnesota Twins will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
