This is an 8* play on MINNESOTA

The Twins are going for a 3-game sweep today, a result that can't be deemed entirely unexpected. We were on them Tuesday, a 2-1 win here in Miami, and then the AL Central leaders made it look even easier yesterday with a 7-4 victory. Today's game sets up as perhaps the easiest of the three. The Twins do face Jordan Yamamoto, but he's been on a downward trajectory of late and was absolutely rocked his last time out, giving up six runs in four innings. Michael Pineda will oppose Yamamoto and he's looked especially good of late. The righty has allowed no more than three runs in 13 of his previous 14 starts. He will face a lineup that has produced the fewest runs scored by any team from the National League. Meanwhile Yamamoto has to deal with a lineup that not only leads MLB in home runs, but also scores - on average - 6.1 runs/game on the road. A total mismatch in every way here. Play on MINNESOTA
