Twins vs Diamondbacks MLB Betting Preview
The Twins had to finish up a series in Texas on Thursday before traveling to Arizona for a weekend set, while the Diamondbacks had an off day, giving the Snakes a travel-and-rest advantage for Friday's matchup.
The Diamondbacks have the better starting pitcher (Michael Soroka ranks as my SP No. 46, while Connor Prielipp checks in closer to average, as my SP No. 96, out of nearly 200 ranked starting pitchers), bullpen (projected No. 8 vs. No. 23; nearly sixth tenths of a run differential on a projected ERA), and position player group (projected No. 2 vs. No 20, averaging my offensive, defensive, and baserunning grades for each team).
Arizona has struggled against right-handed pitching this season (84 wRC+, 30th), but they have performed well against lefties (108 wRC+) and project even a few points better than that against southpaws in my model.
Conversely, the Twins have performed to my expectations against right-handed pitching (projected 103 wRC+; actual 102), and project as both the slightly lesser offense and much worse team defensively.
Twins vs Diamondbacks Pick, Betting Analysis
The Diamonbacks have the lowest strikeout rate in the National League (20%), and they are a consensus top-five defensive team per both Defensive Runs Saved (4th) and Outs Above Average (2nd), along with, in some order, the Dodgers (1st, 3rd), Cubs (2nd, 1st), and Red Sox (3rd, 4th).
Contact and defense are the same formula that the Blue Jays followed to win the American League in 2026.
I projected the D-Backs near -200 in this matchup and would bet their moneyline to -185.
Pick: Diamonbacks ML (-168, FanDuel | Play to -185)
