Twins vs Rockies MLB Player Prop Picks (Jul 18)

The Minnesota Twins (47–49) head to Coors Field to take on the struggling Colorado Rockies (22–74) at 8:40 PM ET. Chris Paddack (3–8, 4.95 ERA) gets the start for Minnesota, while the Rockies counter with Kyle Freeland (1–10, 5.44 ERA). The Twins are favorites at altitude, but Coors Field always adds unpredictability to pitching matchups.

• Twins are –169 on the moneyline, Rockies +142; Run line: Twins −1.5, total set at 11 runs.
• Paddack has allowed 5+ hits in 4 of his last 6 starts, and Minnesota has struggled on the road.
• Freeland has surrendered at least three earned runs in 6 of his last 7 starts, and Rockies bullpen ERA in July is a staggering 6.75.

Minnesota Twins Player Prop Pick: Byron Buxton

Buxton remains Minnesota’s top power threat, with 21 homers and a .574 slugging percentage this season. Facing a struggling Freeland at Coors, Buxton is likely to put at least two bases together—either via a double or homer.

• Slugging a robust .574 with 21 HRs this season.
• Freeland has allowed multi-hit games in 70% of his starts.
• Coors Field boosts power production, enhancing extra-base hit chances.

• Batting .277 with 17 homers and 52 RBI, top of the Rockies’ offense.
• Paddack has allowed 5+ hits in 67% of his recent outings.
• Rockies hitters surge in Coors Field, even in an adverse season.
