The Athletics vs Minnesota Twins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/19/25

I expect both starting pitchers to find success in Tuesday’s matchup between the Minnesota Twins and the Athletics. As a result, I favor the under on the posted game total in that matchup. Both starting pitchers have showcased their potential this season and both arms enter this spot in good form. Ryan has been one of the few bright spots for the Twins this season, posting a 2.72 ERA with the 2nd lowest WHIP and 153 strikeouts in his 139 innings pitched. His 3 starts so far this month have combined for 17.2 innings with only 4 earned runs allowed. He draws an Athletics lineup away from their hitter-friendly home park and I expect him to take advantage with a strong start for his club.

Lopez has posted a 3.30 ERA with 103 strikeouts in his 84.2 innings so far this season, but his most recent production has really caught my attention. The southpaw hurler has gone 4 straight outings without an unearned run surrendered, and this includes 7 and 7.2 inning performances in those last 2 outings. He draws a Twins lineup that has struggled with southpaw pitching all season long, and now they are a watered-down unit following the trade deadline.
