Twins vs. Red Sox Odds & Betting Predictions - September 20, 2024

Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice David Festa’s rookie year has been turbulent, but his potential as a strikeout artist is clear. Festa currently ranks in the upper third of all MLB pitchers in whiff and chase rates, underscoring his impressive 28.1% strikeout rate. However, his aggressive approach has led to control issues, as he’s issued three walks in each of his last two starts. Fortunately, the Red Sox are a favorable matchup for Festa’s style. Boston is striking out at an alarming rate, ranking third worst in the league in strikeouts. They’ve posted a shocking 28.3% strikeout rate over the last two weeks, accompanied by a paltry 6.9% walk rate. This suggests Festa should thrive in missing bats, with Boston’s poor plate discipline playing into his hands. While the Red Sox can still generate power, their current offensive profile leans heavily into strikeouts, which should limit their scoring opportunities. On the other side, Richard Fitts has impressed since being promoted, delivering solid outings in his first two MLB starts. After posting a sub-3.00 ERA in the minors since late July, Fitts has carried his form into the majors. Though his strikeout numbers have declined, his ability to induce ground balls and limit damage remains intact. Facing a struggling Twins offense that ranks 23rd in wRC+ over the last two weeks, Fitts has an excellent opportunity to continue his early success. Minnesota’s recent slump at the plate aligns perfectly with Fitts’ strengths, as the Twins are not generating consistent offense. Additionally, weather conditions are expected to heavily favor pitchers. The wind is projected to blow in at 11.1 mph, which should suppress the power of both offenses and reduce the likelihood of home runs and extra-base hits. The combination of wind blowing in and cool temperatures should further support a low-scoring outcome.
