Today's Pick: MINNESOTA TWINS

Minnesota vs. Kansas City 8:10 EST

We look for the Twins to get back on track after an 11-1 drubbing at the hands of Texas last night against the struggling Royals, whom they have revenge on their minds for a 5-4 loss back on 8/13. Kansas City actually won two of those three games in the Metrodome, but we find Minnesota at 8-1 on the road when seeking revenge for a loss as a home favorite since the start of last season. Neither of these pitchers are in good form, with each seeing their team lose each of their four previous starts. However, the Twins? bats have excelled in division play, hitting .288 and scoring nearly six full runs per game. Over the last seven days, the Royals offense is averaging just 3.6 runs per game and hitting .214 as a team. Take Minnesota.
