Minnesota Twins Odds

Iowa bets on the Minnesota Twins are popular because the team has a steady fixture atop the AL Central in 2022. The Twins (52-44) won its first two games out of the All-Star Break and has games to bet on each day through Aug. 7.

Twins bettors browsing MLB markets at Iowa sportsbooks will see a lot of options, from run lines to first five innings wagers. Here’s your guide to betting on the Twins, including how to navigate live betting and receive free bonus offers.

How to bet on Twins games in Iowa

The best way to wager is using regulated online sportsbooks in Iowa. If you’re legally eligible to bet in the state, are within the state borders and have an internet connection, you’re all set. Let’s get started:

• Download the sportsbook app: Whether on an Apple or Android device, simply search for the sportsbook name in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. You may have to download geolocation software onto your device for compliance.
• Sign up for an account: This step requires you to give the sportsbook operator a few details about yourself. The gaming company must verify that you are eligible to place bets in IA. Typically, you’ll need to provide your full name, address and last four digits of your Social Security number.
• Claim bonus bets and bonuses: Don’t miss out on the freebies you deserve. IA sportsbooks usually save their best promotional offers for new betting customers.
• Deposit funds: Although some bonuses will give you “free money” to wager with, many new customer promos are tied to your first deposit. All Iowa betting apps offer several regulated deposit options; however, Iowa law states that you can’t use your credit card to deposit into a betting account.
• Bet: You’re now ready to browse the markets and place your first wager with your new sportsbook account. As always, play responsibly and good luck!

Best Twins betting app

Which app is best for betting on the Twins is all about function and reliability. Of course, an app is only as good as the sportsbook that powers it. Thus, bettors are looking for an app with the following qualities:

• Competitive odds.
• Fast updates during games.
• Frequent and generous promotions.
• The utmost in user-friendly technology.
• A wide variety of markets involving Minnesota.

The app that best checks all those boxes is DraftKings Sportsbook. DraftKings offers great deals, especially for new bettors. The DK app offers all types of markets on Twins games that IA law and regulations allow. You’ll rarely see DraftKings exclude the Twins from baseball betting markets or promotions as well.

Twins betting lines explained

For most individual games, the standard betting markets include three separate wagers: moneyline, run totals and run line betting. Here’s an example from an IA sportsbook:

The first market is the run line, which is like the point spread in basketball or football. In this market, the visiting Twins are favored by a run-and-a-half, with odds of +132. Thus, if you felt confident that Minnesota would beat Cleveland by at least two runs this day, you’d take those odds. On the other hand, if you believed the Guardians would make it a closer game or win the game outright, you’d take Cleveland -157.

Next is the run total market for the game. This is the line on how many runs both teams will combine to score in the game. So, if you felt there would be at least eight runs between Cleveland and Minnesota in this game, you’d bet the over. If you felt both teams would score seven or fewer runs, you’d take the under wager. Finally, there’s the moneyline bet, which is simply a bet on which team will win the game. In this instance, Minnesota is a -124 road favorite.

How did the Twins do last year?

Minnesota won the AL Central title in 2019 and 2020, but the team stumbled to a 73-89 record in 2021. They traded away DH Nelson Cruz plus arms Jose Berrios and J.A. Happ and Hansel Robles at the deadline. They restocked the Major League talent in March by adding SS Carlos Correa and RHP Sonny Gray to the roster. In April they added Chris Paddack and Emilo Pagan as well.

Twins live betting

Baseball lends itself well to in-game wagering because of the frequent and repetitive actions of players. However, one obstacle can be the lag. For example, the time span between when a pitcher throws the ball and when the odds will update can sometimes be too wide. The best way to combat that is by using an Iowa sports betting app.

On most apps, you can not only bet on the results of individual at-bats but even single pitches within a plate appearance. Other live markets include a props bet on whether a team will score a run during a particular half-inning. Those odds fluctuate as runners reach base or outs are recorded through the course of an inning. They also change as managers introduce pinch hitters/runners or make pitching changes.

With live betting, it’s important to be aware of speed. Thus, using the IA sports betting app on your phone will keep you clued in to what’s going on in the game but simultaneously where the in-game odds are sitting, so you can act the second you see a market that looks good to you.

Betting on Twins team/MVP player futures

Before and throughout each season, you can bet on a myriad of other baseball futures, including the Twins as a team and individual Minnesota players.

As far as team futures go, you can wager on a win total market, taking either the over or the under bet on how many games they will win during the regular season. On the player side, you can bet on players, e.g., Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa to lead MLB in statistical categories.

In these situations, it can pay to have active accounts with more than one licensed Iowa online sportsbook. That way, you can shop to get the absolute best Twins betting odds. As with all futures betting, though, you need to manage your bankroll appropriately. Such wagers will tie a part of your bankroll up for up to several months.

Those markets cover the length of the 2022 season, but you can also find prop bets for individual games. Again, these are available for the entire teams and players on them. You could find a total market for the number of strikeouts recorded by Dylan Bundy on a day he is starting or a spread market for just the first five innings of the game.

Other options might include whether a team will hold a lead through an inning and the total number of hits and walks for Luis Arraez during the game. Check below for current prop odds on key Twins players for today’s game.

Where do the Twins play?

How can I watch Twins games in Iowa?

National rights holders for MLB include Disney, Fox, Google and Turner. Thus, some Twins games will be available on the ESPN networks, FS1, FS2, Fox, TBS and YouTube.

Games will be available via attached streaming platforms ESPN+ and FoxSportsGo in accordance with carrier contracts. Bally’s Sports North, formerly Fox Sports North, has the local broadcast rights for Twins games. Bally’s Sports North occupies the same channels with all carriers that Fox Sports North had.

Bally’s Sports will eventually debut its own app for streaming purposes, but until then, viewers with access to live streams can continue to stream games through the FoxSportsGo app. Unfortunately, MLB considers the Twins an “in-market” team for Iowa MLB.TV subscribers. Thus, Iowans cannot watch Twins games live on MLB.TV. MLB.TV subscribers can stream Twins games in archived format, however, which is 90 minutes after the game’s conclusions.
