Minnesota -115 at ST. LOUIS

Take the Twins for the road win over the Cardinals.

Kevin Slowey gets the start for Minnesota today and he’s established himself as the ace of the staff. The right-hander is 10-2 on the year with a 4.04 ERA. Slowey has also fared well in interleague play, going 7-1 with a 2.48 ERA in 10 career starts against the NL, including 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA this year.

Minnesota as a team has fared well in interleague play as well, particularly on the road. The Twins are 11-5 against the senior circuit this year, with a 5-2 mark on the road.

Going back further, the Twins have won 25 of 35 interleague games away from home since June, 2005.

St. Louis has lost three straight, scoring just three runs during that slide. The Cardinals are hitting a woeful .206 as a team in losing four of their last five.

Todd Wellemeyer will start for the Cards and he’s just 1-3 with a 6.52 ERA in five June starts.

Take the Twins as they grab the road win.
