#917 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Minnesota -135 over Seattle, Wednesday at 4:10 PM ET - The Twins are coming off a 5-0 loss here last night and we expect a bounce back. They’ve been solid coming off a loss winning over 60% of their games this year in that situation winning by an average score of 5.2-3.9. Seattle is in the opposite situation here as they have struggled to win just 37% of their games coming off a win this season. Minnesota send their ace Sonny Gray to the mound this afternoon. He’s coming off the DL after a pectoral strain but seems to be fine after throwing a simulated game over the weekend. He’s been fabulous this season holding opposing hitters to a batting average of .187 with a WHIP of 0.98. He’s averaging 10.5 K’s per 9 innings which walking just 2.5. Over his last 5 starts he’s struckout 34 batters while allowing just 7 walks. Gray has not allowed more than 2 ER’s in any start this season. Gonzales is the starter for Seattle and while his overall ERA is solid at 3.63 he is due for some serious regression. His xERA is over 5.00 and his xFIP is nearly 5.00 telling us he is not pitching as well as his ERA might indicate. Unlike Gray, his K to walk ratio is not good (5.5 to 3.5) and current Minnesota hitters have a lifetime batting average of .350 vs Gonzales. The Twins have the much better overall offense here ranking in the top 8 in both batting average and OPS. The M’s were a bit lucky yesterday scoring 5 runs on just 6 hits and we like Minnesota to bounce back and pick up the win in today’s series finale before their day off tomorrow.
