Point Spread: -1.50 | -104.00 Seattle (Home)
Result: Loss
The Twins are even worse than thought. They are 5-20 in their last 25 games, owners of the worst road record in the American League at 4-19. They have lost the past seven times following an off day.
I don't see those numbers improving as Minnesota travels to Seattle to take on a hot Mariners club - 7-2 last in its last nine games - and going against Felix Hernandez with rookie Pat Dean.
Hernandez has some mileage, but is still an elite pitcher. He's in good form, too, with a 2.21 ERA in his last three starts. Hernandez has dominated Minnesota also going 4-0 with a 0.63 ERA in his last five starts against the Twins with a 1.93 lifetime ERA in 17 outings.
The Twins are last in the American League in runs scored. Seattle, on the other hand, is swinging hot bats. If you discount a 5-0 loss to Rich Hill three games ago, the Mariners are averaging seven runs during their last six games. Dean is making just his second big league start.
