Money Line: -108.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Minnesota Twins
Rating: 8/10*

The Minnesota Twins have won just one of their last six games, but the Oakland Athletics are even worse with just one victory through their last seven contests.

Here the Twins hand the ball to left-hander Jaime Garcia (4-7, 4.30 ERA) who will make his debut since coming over from the Braves. Garcia is a solid pitcher and went seven innings in his previous turn while holding the D'Backs to one run on four hits. Note that Oakland is 0-5 in its last five games vs. a left-handed starter and 6-16 in its last 22 Friday games.

Daniel Gossett (2-5, 5.40 ERA) will toe the slab for the A's. The 24 year old will make just his ninth career start, and he's 0-2 with a 4.82 ERA in three starts home at Oakland Coliseum.

The A's opened the week by getting swept in a four-game series in Toronto to complete a 1-6 trip. They're 0-4 in their last four home games following a road trip of seven or more days.
