This is an 8* Play on MINNESOTA

The Twins and A's have split the first two games of this series. The Twins were our *10* Game of the Week on Thursday and a three-run walkoff HR provided us with a 6-3 victory. The A's bounced back last night, winning 5-3. While Oakland is hotter at the moment (won 6 of 7), Minnesota still has the better overall record and we'll go back to them tonight. Jose Berrios continues to pitch well for them, although he personally has nothing to show for it over the last month or so. But this will be Berrios' first time pitching at Target Field since a gem he tossed back on 6.17 vs. Boston where he allowed only one run and five hits in eight innings of work. He also finished with 10 strikeouts and no walks that day. Brett Anderson has been feeling it of late for the A's with three straight strong efforts on the mound. But despite a 6-1 TSR in his last seven starts overall, Berrios still has the better numbers. The Twins are 28-10 their L38 games following a loss. Play on MINNESOTA
