I really like the price we get on the A's in this matchup. Oakland right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-2, 3.54 ERA) is 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA in five starts against Minnesota. Twins' righty Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.08 ERA) is having a tough year, and he allowed seven earned runs in three innings when he took on the A's last month.

The Twins rallied late to beat the A's on Saturday, but they're still only 13-24 on the season which is miles behind Oakland's 24-17 record.

Athletics are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss. Twins are 2-6 in their last 8 games following a win.

8* play on Oakland Athletics.
