The set-up: The opener of this three-game set was snowed out yesterday, meaning these teams now play a shortened two-game series. While each of these starters has looked decent early, I think they take a step back today.

The pitchers: The visitors hand the ball to Tyson Ross (1-1, 2.25 ERA), who enters off a 3-1 win over the toothless Royals.

The home side goes with Michael Pineda (1-0, 2.00) who makes his third start for the Twins, picking up his first win over Philadelphia on Saturday.

The pick: Note that Minnesota has scored 20 runs on 26 hits over three games before this latest break and there's no reason not to think it won't be able to carry that momentum over here. This number is just a little low in my opinion.
