Worse than -250 on the ML but we're getting plus odds still for Joe Ryan to record the win here so we'll take a half unit shot. Minnesota has been the 6th best team in MLB for OPS against lefties since the start of June and they've only been better in July. Mitchell Parker throws the fastball 55% of the time and the expected wOBA is nearing .400 on that pitch. His expected ERA is 5.51 while Joe Ryan possesses a 3.08 xERA and has thrown a quality start in five of his last seven games. Ryan also has yet to miss the five inning mark and we'll need that once again to have a look at the win here.
B365 at +110. Joe Ryan has recorded the win in eight of his last 13 starts. He’ll face off against the inconsistent Nationals offense, which has largely sputtered out of the All Star break. And on the flip-side, the Twins will face off against Mitchell Parker, who owns a 6.46 ERA on the road. The Twins as a team own a .764 OPS since June 1st against southpaws.
