Result: Win
The Orioles have scored only 10 runs in their last six road games. This was supposed to be their first off day since All-Star break. Instead, though, they have to play in this postponed game before heading off to Toronto for a first-place AL East Division showdown series against the Blue Jays. So it wouldn't be surprising if some of the key Baltimore hitters are rested in this matchup.
Twins starter Kyle Gibson is off the best pitched game of his career. He held the Red Sox, the No. 1 scoring team in baseball, to one run on two hits in eight innings this past Friday. The right-hander has allowed two earned runs or less in three of his past five starts.
The under has cashed in Baltimore's last seven road games and 13 of the last 16 times the Orioles have faced a righty starter.
The Twins have a below average offense. They've been held to two runs or fewer in half of their last 12 games.
Look for Ubaldo Jimenez to come through for Baltimore. He's been terrible up to this point - 5-9 record with a 7.38 ERA - but he will be well rested both physically and mentally. Jimenez last pitched 20 days ago. He got off the paternity list after the recent birth of his first daughter. He also made a mechanical adjustment during his time off that should prove helpful. This is an extremely important start for his career.
Jimenez pitches with a lot of confidence against Minnesota. He has been especially strong at Target Field with a 4-1 lifetime mark and 1.82 ERA.
Both pitcher's should be helped a 10 mph wind that will be blowing in.
