Minnesota Twins vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/24/26

Both the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays enter this Friday night matchup struggling a bit. Minnesota is coming off a series in which they lost 2 out of 3 to the Mets, who have been among the worst teams in baseball during the first month of the season. On the other side, the Rays have lost 3 of their last 4 games and 4 of their last 6. A great pitching matchup is in store for the series-opener, as Minnesota’s Taj Bradley goes up against Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen.

Bradley has allowed a total of 5 earned runs over his first 5 starts and 27.2 innings of work. He’s also been sensational on the road, allowing just 10 hits and 1 earned run over 11.0 innings away from Minnesota. Rasmussen is also off to a strong start. He’s allowed just 6 earned runs over his 4 starts and 19.2 innings, with 4 of them coming in his last outing against the Pirates. He is now back in the comfort of his own ballpark, and he should be in a solid position to bounce back against a Minnesota offense that has been fairly middle-of-the-pack so far this season. Given the strength of both of these starting pitchers, the under is the play.

Twins vs Rays prediction: Under 7.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
