Twins vs Reds MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 17)

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET at Great American Ball Park. In this key mid-season match, the Reds (37–35) are slight home favorites over the Twins (36–35). Minnesota seeks to stop a four-game road slide while Cincinnati aims to extend its season-long consistency.

• Boasting a 61.6% win probability, the Reds get a boost from home-field advantage and the recent form of rookie Andrew Abbott (6–1, 1.87 ERA, 64 K).
• The Twins turn to right-hander David Festa (1–1, 4.76 ERA, 25 K), returning from a strong outing.
• Reds starter Abbott looks to continue his Cy Young campaign against a Twins lineup that ranks above average in strikeouts.

Minnesota Twins Player Prop Pick: Andrew Abbott

Minnesota plays solid baseball despite recent struggles on the road. Their lineup features impact bats like Byron Buxton and emerging talents, but an inconsistent approach has led to a four-game trip slide. Festa’s ability to flirt with zeros and limit damage will be crucial.

• Abbott averages over one strikeout per inning (64 K in 62.2 IP) and has cleared six strikeouts in his last complete-game finish.
• Minnesota has a higher-than-average strikeout rate, matching well with Abbott’s swing-and-miss profile.
• This +100 line offers strong value given his elite current form.

Cincinnati Reds Player Prop Pick: David Festa

Cincinnati continues its juggernaut season with solid starting pitching anchoring the club. Abbott’s breakout year includes a sub-2.00 ERA and a dominant rookie campaign. Supported by a well-rounded offense, the Reds control tonight’s narrative.

• Festa averages about 3.0 K/9, falling short of five strikeouts in his career starts.
• The Reds’ contact-oriented hitters make it tough for him to exceed the 4.5 K threshold.
• His recent starts show control and endurance but limited whiff potential.
