Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Twins prepare to host the Angels, Vaughn Grissom’s recent form raises eyebrows, particularly when considering his matchup against Minnesota’s reliable pitching staff. With a solid rotation, the Twins have kept opposing hitters in check, showcasing a stingy 3.75 team ERA at home. Grissom, while promising, has struggled against right-handed pitchers, posting an underwhelming .230 batting average in those matchups this season.
Additionally, the Twins have excelled at limiting extra-base hits, ranking among the top five teams in the league for fewest total bases allowed. With this being a pivotal game and the Twins looking to bolster their playoff hopes, expect them to come out with an aggressive approach on the mound. Given these dynamics, betting on Grissom to finish with under 1.5 total bases seems prudent—he's likely to find it tough against a disciplined Twins staff ready to stifle his efforts.
