The Twins are the clear play at +135—this line won't last once the Mets' flaws come into focus.
Minnesota’s offense has terrorized NL pitching all spring, averaging 6.2 R/G while exploiting the kind of defensive shifts New York’s infield can’t handle. Sonny Gray’s rediscovered velocity (94-96 mph) and a full-game-ready bullpen make this Twins squad a nightmare for the Mets’ injury-depleted rotation. The Mets’ so-called ‘strength’ in left-handed hitters? They’re 28th against same-handed pitching, and the Twins’ pen is loaded with sliders that bury LHBs. Take the cash. This isn’t a contrived ‘value’ angle—it’s a straightforward matchup where Minnesota’s depth and New York’s pitching fragility collide. The number’s still low enough to justify straight-up trust.
