On Thursday as the twins host the Kansas City Royals in the climax of a 3-game series, the Twins are preferred in MLB wagering.
The Twins shoot for their seventh straight win at home and a 3-game sweep of the AL Central rival Kansas City Royals tonight in the series climax from Target Field.
The matchup in baseball wagering is supposed to feature Bruce Chen going for the Kansas City Royals versus Minnesota’s Scott Baker.
Scott Baker has fared well at Target Field. He has always pitched well versus the Kansas City Royals irrespective of the location. Baker allowed four runs over seven 1-3 innings in a 5-4, 11-inning win at Oakland on Friday.
MLB gambling odds favor the Twins more often than not in their new home. Target Field has been great to the Twins as so far the Twins have been just as great at their new lineup when they were in the Metrodome. On Thursday, Scott Baker is supposed to get the start. He is 5-4 on the season with a 4.52 ERA. He went seven 1/3 innings previous time out versus Oakland and gave up four runs on six hits and had 3 strikeouts. The previous time he pitched versus The Royals he gave up only 2 runs and seven hits. Baker is greater at home this season than traveling. His road ERA is 5.66 whereas his road ERA is 3.49 ERA.
Twins DH Jason Kubel is 4 for seven with 3 RBIs in this series and rookie 3rd baseman Danny Valencia is 4 for 8.
Chen is 2- for the season with a 2.95 ERA. He has been playing for the wounded Gil Meche and doing very well. In his 2 starts he is 1- with 3.00 ERA. Past time out he went 5 innings and allowed just 2 earned runs on four hits. The veteran left-hander has done 10 relief appearances to go with his lone career start versus the Twins in 2004. Against Minnesota, he’s a 5.75 ERA.
Kansas City has not had loads of success over the years versus Minnesota versus the MLB wagering odds. They had lost 15 of the previous 20 versus the Twins before this series began. The teams played 2 series in April, one in Minnesota and one in Kansas City. The Twins won four of the six games. 5 of those six games went over the total in MLB wagering.
The Kansas City Royals haven’t been very great at home or on the road in baseball wagering. They actually have a little more value on the road since their prices are higher. The Kansas City Royals have lost 8 out of 11 overall and four straight on the road. It’s challenging to take The Royals, even with their big prices, since they’re below average in hitting and in pitching.
Minnesota has been very great at home and just .500 on the road. That might be great enough though to win the American League Central. The Twins pitching has been reliable, rating in the top 10 in the league, though they’re around average in hitting.
