10* AL CENTRAL GOY on the Twins.
This division is wide-open at this point of the season. No awards in MLB are handed out in June. Minnesota enters the weekend at .500 (38-38), followed by Cleveland at 36-38, then Detroit at 32-41, and then followed by the White Sox at 32-44. The good news for any of these four teams, is that they're in such a weak division right now, and that any of them that can put together a win streak and show some consistency has a real opportunity of coming out on top. That said, the Twins are still in the drivers' seat, and despite being on the road here, and no matter what the result is on Friday (releasing this pick before the Friday game goes off), we absolutely think this starting pitching matchup favors the visitors SO much, that it's now garnered a title of this magnitude. Detroit goes with Reese Olson, who is 0-2 with a 5.59 ERA. Clearly, the sample size is really small and it's difficult to draw any conclusions on Olson one way or the other, but it's still significant to note that while he's 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA on the road, he's 0-1 with an 8.90 ERA at home. So Pablo Lopez has the definite advantage here for Minnesota, as he's 3-4 with a 4.40 ERA and a 110:26 K/W ratio. Also note that while he's 2-2 with a 5.94 ERA at home this year, Lopez is 1-2 with a 2.72 ERA on the road this season. The stars and the planets have aligned and for Minnesota here on Saturday and because of that, it makes this a price in which we have no issues at all in laying; the play is indeed on Minnesota!
