Minnesota Twins -146 (Pinny)

Kevin Slowey @ home Vs. Indians
-Indians are second lowest scoring team in the league at 3.8 runs per game.
-Working on a four game winning streak with 3 wins against the White Sox who have been struggling mightily with the bats all season long.
-Cleveland is 2-4 on the road this season with Minn boasting a 4-2 home record.
-Cleveland is 2-19 SU in its last 21 games on the road
-Cleveland is 4-13 SU in its last 17 games when playing on the road against Minnesota
-Minnesota 3rd Baseman Nick Punta is likely to return to the starting lineup tonight following an extra day rest with a strained groin.
-Masterson has thrown well thus far this season, but going back to last season with the Indians he was 1-7 with a 4.52 ERA.

-Twins are 14-4 SU in its last 18 games at home
-SLowey has given up a total of 6 runs in last 3 outings vs. Cleveland
-Slowey is making his third start since having wrist surgery in the offseason. He may not be the same pitcher from 2009 at this stage, but has shown that he can give 6-7 serviceable innings to get to the consistent Twins bullpen.
 
I apologize for the flow of the trends posted below, but I have to run and wanted to get these out there before leaving. Will be back later.


Play 2

LA Dodgers -130

-Cincinnati is 1-11 SU in their last 12 games when playing LA Dodgers
-Cincinnati is 0-5 SU in last 5 games this season
-Cincy does not have a win from a starting pitcher yet this season
-Cincy is 2nd worst in offensive strikeouts
-Dodgers are the second highest scoring team in the league at 5.8 runs per game.
-Reds are the third lowest scoring team in the league at 4.1 runs per game.

-Dodgers lead the league in hits with 10.9 per game.

Billingsley in 5 career starts against Cincy gave up 4,2,1,0,1 runs

Bailey has struggled mightily this season with his control. Do not see him pitching deep into this game as he runs a high pitch count early.
 
Liking the Minny play more than my best bet I was considering. Even without Nathan, Twins bullpen ERA 2.52 has been far superior than Indians 4.35. Last 7 days Minny hitting .306 and Cleve. .216. Season .277 to .219. Just from info on net, Masterson seems to be 2 pitch pitcher and Twins lead majors in walks, must be patient?
