Stephen Nover's MLB Saturday Day Game Totals Destroyer
(MLB) Minnesota vs. Tampa Bay, 09/04/2021 4:05 PM, Score: 4 - 11
Total: 8.50 | -118.00 Over
Result: Win
Considering the pitchers and offensive strengths of these two teams, I would have put this total at double-digits. It's at least one run short in my view.
Only five teams have hit more homers than the Twins. No team is averaging more runs per game than the Rays. Tampa Bay has scored 5 or more runs in 13 of its last 17 games.
 
The Twins go against Chris Archer, who has thrown just six innings since April 10 as he works his way back into shape after being out four months with right forearm tightness. Archer hasn't been effective for the past six years. So I'm not expecting much.

Nor am I expecting anything from Twins starter, 35-year-old Andrew Alberts. He has made just two starts since 2017.
