MINNESOTA (11 - 5) at KANSAS CITY (5 - 10)
Seth Greisinger (R) vs. Darrell May (L)

We'll stay with the Minnesota Twins tonight as they look to continue their domination of the Kansas City Royals.

The Twins are as hot as the Royals are cold and we think they're good value tonight at +125.

Minnesota rallied from a 5-1 eighth inning deficit last night to beat Kansas City 7-5 and they have now won 10 of the last 15 contests between these teams including the last five straight. The Twins have dominated AL Central opponents the last three seasons going 103-63 for +21 units.

Kansas City have lost eight of their last nine overall this season and must be somewhat demoralized following last night's game when they walked five batters in the ninth.

"The bullpen has really been struggling," Royals pitcher Curtis Leskanic said. "We thought that was going to be a strength of our staff. The last two weeks we've been pretty lousy. "

The Royals are just 2-8 (-6.7 units) this season against right-handed starters so we expect Seth Greisinger to be capable of keeping the Twins in this game. Kansas City have lost all three of Darrell May's starts this season.

Take the red-hot Twins as a road dog tonight.
