Giants vs. Twins: MLB odds, picks, best bets Sunday
Happy Mother's Day! To Mom, the Mrs. and all you mothers.
The Twins had won six straight prior to their Saturday night affair with the Giants.
Pablo López, Minnesota's consistently good starter, has given up just eight runs over 33 innings.
San Francisco's Landen Roupp has lost two in a row and has coughed up 15 runs over his past 25 innings.
It's against our better nature to bite on the Twinkies as favorites, but we will back López and the Twins for $50.

Live updates: Phillies trade news, updates and rumors as MLB trade deadline arrives
Despite their lofty perch in the National League East, the Phillies have needs. They began to address them in a major way when, about 24 hours before the 6 p.m. EDT July 31 trade deadline, the Phillies obtained hard-throwing reliever Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins on July 30. The price was steep, but likely necessary. It also certainly ranks as the biggest midseason swap made by long-time wheeler-dealer Dave Dombrowski since becoming the Phillies' president of baseball operations before the 2021 season. Are the Phillies' done? Today will tell, as improving an outfield that is among the worst in the majors offensively could also fuel more dealing. In exchange for Duran, the Twins received pitcher Mick Abel, now at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and High-A Jersey Shore catcher Eduardo Tait. Tait is fourth and Abel sixth on ranking of Phillies prospects. NO DEAL: If Phillies weigh trading prospects they can't repeat these mishaps Abel was 2-2 with a 5.04 ERA in six starts with the Phillies this season. While they're good enough to compete for a division title and playoff berth, improving the roster -- the bullpen specifically -- has been expected for the Phillies to have a better shot at the third World Series title in their long history. July 31 is the final day that can happen, as Major League Baseball's trade deadline annually elicits a flurry of deals as stronger teams try to get better and those with lesser playoff hopes aim to rebuild for the future. Reliever Jose Alvarado will soon return to the Phillies' bullpen from his 80-day PED suspension but cannot pitch in the postseason. The Phillies also recently signed David Robertson for his third bullpen stint with the team. He is now pitching for Lehigh Valley before a likely Aug. 5 promotion. Other possible bullpen targets, according to various reports and the speculation that underscores every trade deadline, had included David Bednar of the Pirates, Ryan Helsley of the Cardinals, Griffin Jax of the Twins and Mason Miller of the Athletics. Helsley is reportedly being dealt to the Mets, who've been regularly swapping first place with the Phillies in the National League East lately in a division title battle that will likely extend to late September. With other teams also in the need for relief help, there was likely significant competition for the Phillies, which is why they needed to part with two top prospects.

MLB rumors: Dodgers ‘engaged' in trade talks on 3 Twins relievers
The post MLB rumors: Dodgers 'engaged' in trade talks on 3 Twins relievers appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Major League Baseball trade deadline looms large over the whole league. Even the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers have been active. The Dodgers have plenty of players to move, including Dustin May. Their top targets in the MLB trade market are relief pitchers. Los Angeles has its sights set on Minnesota Twins relievers Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, and Louis Varland. The Dodgers have dealt with injuries all season, including to their closer, Tanner Scott. Because of that, the front office wants to bring in more depth that can help the team navigate its way to back-to-back World Series wins. Duran has emerged as a viable option at this year's MLB trade deadline. He is still one of the top closers in the league, even if his team is struggling. Duran and Jax have been in rumors for the last few weeks. Neither player was a 2025 MLB All-Star, but both have been excellent in the regular season. However, the Twins' asking price will be steep for both of them. According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Dodgers are one of many teams talking with Minnesota about each of them. While both relievers would be big subtractions at the MLB trade deadline, they might not be the best Twin moved in the next 24 hours. The Houston Astros have interest in Minnesota shortstop Carlos Correa, who is willing to waive his no-trade clause to make the deal happen. With Byron Buxton on the Twins' injured list, the team has turned into sellers very fast. Duran, Jax, and Varland are all names to watch at the MLB trade deadline. It is unlikely that the Dodgers would trade for all three, but adding any one of them improves their bullpen. For a team trying to hold off the competition in the National League, Los Angeles needs all the help it can get.
