San Diego Padres vs Minnesota Twins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/30/25

I favor the San Diego Padres over the Minnesota Twins as they matchup this Saturday, and I look for the Padres to win this game by multiple runs. San Diego will have the starting pitching edge on paper while also holding an offensive edge in terms of star power and depth. What was a thin lineup to begin the season, San Diego’s trade deadline acquisitions helped bolster their unit and form a more formidable group. Minnesota went the other way at the trade deadline, sending away several starting caliber players for prospects.

Nick Pivetta has had a very strong season for the Padres in his debut year with the team. The veteran right-hander has posted a 2.82 ERA with 161 strikeouts so far through his first 153.1 innings of work. 10 of his last 11 outings have resulted in 2 or fewer earned runs allowed, and I expect him to produce another strong outing in this matchup. Taj Bradley is set to make his 2nd start as a member of the Twins since being acquired by the Rays. His first start with the team resulted in 7 earned runs allowed against a weak White Sox lineup, and I don’t expect him to have much success in this spot.
