The Twins are coming into this game with a 58-47 record this season but they have not been playing as well in their recent games. They have now lost 2 of their last 3 games with both their offense and their pitching struggling in those games. They have scored 2 runs or less in 2 of their last 3 games, averaging just 3 runs scored per game in those 3, and they have also allowed at least 7 runs in 2 of their last 3 games, averaging over 7 runs allowed per game in that span as they have allowed 22 total runs in those 3 games. They are going up against a Mets team that is 56-50 this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They are coming off of a 15-2 win over the Twins on Monday and they have won 6 of their last 8 games as well. Their offense has been on fire recently and they are only going to continue with their offense in this game at home after scoring 15 runs on Monday. David Festa is starting for the Twins in this game and he is 1-1 with an 8.16 ERA this season. He has only made 3 MLB starts in his career and he has struggled heavily in 2 of those. He is coming off of his best start of the season, allowing 1 earned run in a little over 4 innings against the Phillies, but prior to that he allowed 5 earned runs and 7 earned runs in just 5 innings each of those other 2 starts. Festa pitched well in his last start, but he will not follow up with another good start here, especially with the way the Mets offense has been scoring recently. Sean Manaea is starting for the Mets in this game and he is 6-4 with a 3.74 ERA this season. He has been pitching much better in his recent starts as he allowed just 2 earned runs in his last start and has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 4 of his last 6 starts as well. He has also been better at home recently as he has allowed 1 earned run or less in 2 of his last 3 starts there, allowing 4 earned runs total in those 3 starts combined. The Mets have also been giving him lots of run support in his recent starts as they won 12-3 in his last start, scoring 12 runs in 2 different games over his last 6 starts, and they have also scored at least 7 runs in 4 of his last 6 starts as well. The Mets offense is not going to cool down here with Festa allowing so many runs and the Twins are going to struggle on offense once again here. The Mets will win this game at home.
