The Minnesota Twins ended a five-game skid when they defeated the Cleveland Indians 10-9 in the opener of a three-game set at Progressive Field Friday. I like their chances of recording another upset tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Twins hand the ball to Ervin Santana (2-2, 3.89 ERA) who'll make his seventh start of the year. He's really struggled in the last two conceding a total of 11 runs (nine earned) on 14 hits and seven walks over 11 2/3 frames. He's 2-1 with a 1.52 ERA in four road-starts for the year though and he has posted a 1.61 ERA in the last four meetings with the Tribe who will counter with Trevor Bauer (8-8, 3.98). He's 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in his last four starts and 0-3 with a 6.07 ERA in five career starts against the Twins.

2. Situational - The Indians are 1-8 in their last nine games as a home favorite and the Twins have won four of the last five meetings.

3. X-Factor - Torii Hunter was 3-for-5 with a homer yesterday and he's 6-for-12 with two doubles and two homers in previous at bats against Bauer.

Selection: This is a play on the Minnesota Twins +1.5 (8*)
