This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Minnesota Twins.
It looked like Houston was in danger of falling to the Orioles for a second yesterday (we had a play on Baltimore unfortunately), but the hottest team in baseball turned it on in the middle frames and pulled away for the 8-4 victory. We played against the Twins last night, as Tampa was able to capture an 8-6 victory in Minnesota in 15 innings. If this were closer to the end of the season, we'd say that fatigue could be a factor this afternoon for the Twins. But we're barely one month into the campaign, so that won't be the case whatsoever this afternoon (in fact, the extra playing time is likely a benefit at this point of the season). We like the red hot Irvin Santana and the home side to bounce back and cool off the red hot Astros this afternoon.
Brad Peacock: He's 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA. Peacock struck out eight batters over just 4.1 innings in his lone start this year.
Santana: He's 7-2 with a 1.80 ERA. Santana most recently allowed just two hits and two walks in a 2-0 complete game shutout of Baltimore on Tuesday, going on to finish with six K's.
The bottom line: This will be a big test for Peacock. Santana has been dominant this year and we think he's getting little respect in this matchup, as Peacock's sample size is too small. Value swings to the home side here, play on the TWINS.
