We've lost with Minnesota two days in a row, but I am not afraid to back them the third day in a row.

They could easily have won and covered the runline in yesterday's 3-2 loss to Kansas City, loading up the bases with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, only to end up with no runs.

The Royals are 0-4 SU and against the runline as road dogs off a win. They had lost six straight games in a row and covered the runline in only one of the losses before yesterday's win.

The Twins are 13-7 against the runline in the 20 games they've won this season when closing as favorites.

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5.
