Twins vs Reds MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 19)

First pitch: 7:10 p.m. ET at Great American Ball Park. The Reds (38–35) hold a slight edge over the Twins (36–36) in this interleague matchup as both teams look to shift the midseason momentum.

• Cincinnati has won eight of 11 games, including both games of this series. Minnesota dropped their last three away games.
• Twins’ pitching staff averages 8.9 K/9 (seventh in MLB); Reds hitters strike out slightly below league rate.
• The Twins start Chris Paddack (2–6, 4.30 ERA, 53 K in 75.1 IP), while the Reds counter with Nick Martinez (4–7, 3.92 ERA, 58 K in 80.1 IP).

Minnesota Twins Player Prop Pick: Andrew Abbott

The Twins are off their fourth straight road loss, led by reliable bats like Byron Buxton (.274, 13 HR) but weakened by pitching inconsistencies. Paddack, though capable of deep outings, struggles with limiting walks and converting them into outs.

• Abbott averages just over one strikeout per inning with 64 K in 62.2 IP.
• His last complete-game featured six strikeouts; he has exceeded this line regularly.
• Twins hitters struggle with contact and rank higher in strikeouts—ideal for a K-heavy outing.

Cincinnati Reds Player Prop Pick: Chris Paddack

Cincinnati is surging at home with streaky but productive hitting. Salmon rookie Andrew Abbott fueled momentum, but tonight relies on Martinez to set a tone. The lineup remains balanced with power threats like Elly De La Cruz and Jake Fraley.

• Paddack has not surpassed four strikeouts in any start this season.
• The Reds’ lineup focuses on contact and avoids strikeouts, limiting Paddack’s upside.
• He pitches to contact, leaning on defense rather than swing‑and‑miss.
