Obviously a big series around these parts, so going to play tonight's game small, as I think it's a tough matchup for both squads. Garcia has fared better historically against the Twins than Baker has against Chisox, but the Twins knocked him around for 11 hits last time out and he was fortunate to not give up more. Baker looked much better in his last outing, and may be returning to his usual strong late season form. Twins have been killing the ball of late, and have long been in the heads of the Sox and Guillen. A very tight matchup, but playing a loose Twins squad against a Sox team that looks at this series a little tighter, IMO. Mauer back behind the plate after a long layoff last game, and a day of rest. Thome playing tonight, the lineup is in good form.
Twins -1.10 small.
Keying them in a small parlay:
Twins -1.10
Braves -1.5 +1.10 (Like Jurrgens against Stros)
Padres -1.5 +1.00 (anti-Pirates/Karstens play)
Angels -2.41 (This is why they got Haren)
Good luck everybody! Would have gone Twins/Sox over had I known the umpire behind the plate before the wager. Still might add the over, if I find that out - LOTS of trends to the over in this pitching/team matchup.
