MLB FREE PICK: Take the over. According to latest MLB trends, Minnesota is 6-2 Over last 8 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. Royals are 5-2-1 Over in Davis’ last 8 starts overall.
The Twins’ (26-30, 13-16 road, 26-29 O/U) offense was stymied last night by Jamie Guthrie as they scored just one run in the first inning. Minnesota had scored 18 runs in their previous six games. Now Mike Pelfrey (3-6, 6.66 ERA) takes the mound for the Twins and he’s struggling big-time. Pelfrey gave up six runs and eight hits in two innings against the Royals on April 10. Opponents are hitting .332 against Pelfrey this season, who has lost four straight. Wade Davis (3-6, 6.16 ERA) hasn’t been much better. He is 3-0 with a 4.08 ERA in seven appearances against the Twins. He allowed six runs and 10 hits in his last start against Texas on May 31. He hasn’t gone past 6 1/3 innings since April 17, when he held Atlanta scoreless. Expect this each pitcher to be a tonic for each team’s hitting problems. The Twins visit Kauffman Stadium to take on the Kansas City Royals on Thursday at 8:10pmET.
