This is an 8* play on MINNESOTA

Last night, the Mets actually beat the Twins 3-2. But we shouldn't have to tell you which team is having the better season. Minnesota leads the AL Central (58-35) while the Mets are floundering over in the NL East (43-51). The Mets have now won three straight, but that streak stops today as yesterday was a real anomaly. Not only is this the Mets first three game win streak in nearly two months, but last night marked just the third time in 32 tries this season that they won when scoring three runs or less. Minnesota has not lost three in a row this entire season, a fate they are facing this afternoon. So they're a good bet to win behind Martin Perez, who will be making his first start since the All Star Break. The Mets Jason Vargas really struggled last Friday, giving up six runs to a Marlins team that has scored the fewest number of runs in the National League. Now he has to face one of baseball's highest scoring offenses. The Twins are 17-4 after scoring 2 runs or less their previous game. Play on MINNESOTA
