ROGERS' 10* MLB LETHAL DESTRUCTION (MLB)
(MLB) Minnesota vs. Texas,
Money Line: -157.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
Money Line: -157.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: I think this is a starting match-up on the mound that heavily favors the visitors. The Twins see Jose Berrios toe the slab, while the home side hands the ball to Ariel Jurado.
The pitchers: Berrios (10-6, 3.29 ERA) is 2-4 over his last 11 starts, but he enters off a decent outing, giving up three runs over six innings in a no-decision to the Indians on Sunday.
Jurado (6-8, 5.31) enters off a 19-4 loss to the Jays on Monday, allowing 11 hits and eight runs over three innings.
The pick: Minnesota's won the first two games of this series, 13-6 on Thursday and 4-3 last night. Normally I would consider this a "letdown" spot, but with just a few weeks left in the regular season, the Twins lead over the Tribe is only 1.5 games. Expect the hard-hitting visiting side to keep the foot on the gas.
