- I'm laying the run line with the Minnesota Twins, as we get better value with the point spread and plus-price. The Twins have won five in a row after sweeping Sunday's doubleheader over the Oakland Athletics.
The Twins have taken six of seven during this homestand, and the offense has scored five or more runs in the wins. Overall, Minnesota has outscored its guests by a combined final of 52-30.
During their 6-1 win streak in Minneapolis, the Twins are hitting .356 and slugging .595. They've stroked 14 home runs and are averaging 7.4 runs per game. Of their 88 hits, the Twins have sent 34% for extra bags.
The Rays, meanwhile, are in after a trip to Atlanta, and are mired in a 3-7 skid. Their offense has been the polar opposite of Minnesota's, as they're hitting .206 and scoring only 3.1 runs per game over the 10-game stretch. And their 5.22 over their last 10 games doesn't help, either.
It does help us, with this easy run-line play. Take the Twins tonight, and lay the run and a half.
