In Jake We Trust. Jake Odorizzi is having a monster season for the Twins and is back healthy. Odorizzi is at his best at Target Field where his home numbers are 6-0, 2.27 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. He has struckout 55 batters in 47 2/3 innings at home.
Minnesota is 14-2 in Odorizzi's last 16 starts at Target Field for a home winning percentage of 88 percent during this span!
While Odorizzi is the nuts at home, Oakland starter Chris Bassitt is at his worst pitching on the road in night games. Bassitt has a 4.43 road ERA and a 5.79 ERA when pitching at night.
The Twins have the far superior offense, too, ranking in the top-two in homers, runs and batting average. The A's rank ninth in runs and 18th in batting average.
Minnesota should be loose feeling less pressure after halting its three-game losing streak, longest of the season for the Twins, on Thursday beating Oakland, 6-3.
