Twins take first two

The Twins have won the first two games in this series following a 5-0 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Minnesota is 46-53 overall and 17-31 on the road. The Twins are putting up 4.52 runs per game while allowing 4.43 per contest.

The Twins will get Ervin Santana on the mound today, as he makes his season debut following surgery on his finger in February. Santana was 16-8 last season with a 3.28 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. He had 167 strikeouts and 61 walks over 211.1 innings.

Sam Gaviglio is getting the start for the Blue Jays today. He is 2-3 through 12 starts this season with a 4.59 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Gaviglio has pitched 64.2 innings this year and has 61 strikeouts with 19 walks.

MLB Betting Trends

Minnesota

The Twins have won 12 of their last 14 against AL East opponents and they are also 7-3 in their last 10 games after a win.

Toronto

The Blue Jays have lost four straight to AL Central opponents, but they have won Gaviglio’s last four at home.

Prediction:

The Twins are getting a nice boost with Santana taking the mound. He was another strong starter for them last year. It’s uncertain what to expect from him today in his first start, but the Twins have had Toronto’s number in this series. Gaviglio has been pretty hit-and-miss this year, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him get lit up quickly.

 

The Pick: Minnesota Twins -105
