There are certain pitchers who just shouldn't be in a big league rotation. Kyle Gibson is one such hurler. Gibson was a huge disappointment last season with a 5.07 ERA and he's been just as horrible - if not worse - this season with an 8.62 ERA.

Until the Twins cut ties with this guy, Minnesota is worth fading when Gibson pitches especially when it opens as a home favorite.

The Twins have been overachieving winning 15 more games than at this point last year. However, those victories haven't come at home where they are 12-15.

Gibson had been sent down to the minors. He emerged this past Monday and was lucky the Twins put up 14 runs against the Orioles in that game because he allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings to pick up a lucky victory.

Gibson has been consistent. He's given up three or more earned runs in each of his seven starts.

Teams often rest some everyday players on Sunday. That shouldn't be the case, though, with hot-hitting Corey Dickerson. He was rested yesterday. Dickerson is having a breakout season batting .330 with 12 homers, 14 doubles and 23 RBIs.

Rays pitcher Alex Cobb is far from an ace. But he's been steady this month - 3.12 ERA in five May starts - and is a clear upgrade on Gibson. The Rays have won seven of their last 10 road games and have beaten the Twins 19 of the last 26 times at Target Field.
