#911 ASA PLAY ON Minnesota Twins -115 over Texas Rangers, Thursday at 8:05 PM ET - Texas is off a win but has been struggling since the All Star break including losses in 12 of 16 games prior to yesterday's game. The Rangers, in fact, have not won B2B games since a 5-game win streak about 3 weeks ago! We look for Texas to again struggle in their quest for B2B wins as the Twins get it done here. Minnesota enters this game off a loss but this followed wins in 9 of 13 games. Minnesota has been the much stronger team at the plate, in comparison with Texas, in recent weeks. We also like this pitching match-up in favor of the Twins. Although Cody Bradford has good numbers for the Rangers with a 4-0 record, he is just a 2nd year guy with only 13 MLB starts under his belt. Bradford is off a respectable start versus the Yankees but this followed rough outings versus the Red Sox and Cardinals. He allowed 8 earned runs in less than 6 innings in those two outings. As for Bailey Ober, he has been phenomenal for an extended period now! Ober has given up only 12 earned runs in his last 9 starts. Also, Ober has allowed only 13 hits in his last 34 innings which is amazing especially when adding in the fact that he has struck out 27 in his last 21 innings. The Twins also have decent bullpen numbers this season while the Rangers pen has an ERA that ranks near the bottom of the majors. The road team is the bet in this one.
