10* INTERLEAGUE GAME OF MONTH - THE BIG ONE!
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Minnesota,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -122.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 1.50 | -122.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Twins runline.
While I do think an outright win is possible, in the end I think the value here lies on the hungry home side and the spread option (runline.) The Dodgers just lost two of three in Chicago, including an 8-1 loss yesterday. The Twins lost two straight at home to Cleveland, but had their game postponed yesterday, giving them an extra days rest here. Bailey Ober is 0-1 with a 54.00 ERA after allowing eight runs over 1 1/3's innings to the Royals in his debut. Clearly there's only one way for Ober's performance to go in this tart. James Paxton (1-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his second start after allowing no runs over five innings in a commanding start vs. the Giants. Like his counterpart, I'll argue that there's only one way in which Paxton's performance can go in this start.
T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins.
