On Thursday as the minnesota twins host the Kansas City Royals in the climax of a 3-game series, the Minnesota Twins are favored in MLB gambling.
The Minnesota Twins aim for their 7th consecutive victory at home and a 3-game sweep of the American League Central rival Kansas City Royals this evening in the series climax from Target Field.
The game in baseball gambling is supposed to feature Bruce Chen going for the Royals vs Minnesota’s Scott Baker.
Scott Baker has worked out nicely at Target Field. He has always pitched nicely vs the Kansas City Royals regardless of the location. Baker permitted 4 runs over seven 1-3 innings in a 5-4, 11-inning victory at Oakland on Friday.
MLB gambling odds prefer the Minnesota Twins most of the time in their new home. Target Field has been good to the Minnesota Twins as so far the Minnesota Twins have been just as good at their new lineup when they were in the Metrodome. Scott Baker is supposed to get the start on Thursday. He is 5-4 on the season with a 4.52 ERA. He went seven 1/3 innings past time out vs Oakland and gave up 4 runs on six hits and had 3 strikeouts. The past time he pitched vs The Royals he gave up only 2 runs and seven hits. Baker has been much better at home this season than on the road. His road ERA is 5.66 whilst his road ERA is 3.49 ERA.
Minnesota Twins DH Jason Kubel is 4 for seven with 3 RBIs in this series and rookie third baseman Danny Valencia is 4 for 8.
Chen is 2- for the season with a 2.95 ERA. Gil Meche is hurt, so he has been filling in and doing quite nicely. In his 2 starts he’s 1- with 3.00 ERA. Previous time out he went five innings and permitted just 2 earned runs on 4 hits. The veteran left-hander has made 10 relief appearances to go with his single career start vs the Minnesota Twins in 2004. He has a 5.75 ERA vs Minnesota.
Kansas City has not had a lot of success over the years vs Minnesota vs the MLB gambling odds. Before this series commenced they had lost 15 of the past 20 vs the Minnesota Twins. The teams played 2 series in April, one in Minnesota and one in Kansas City. Of the six matches, the Minnesota Twins won 4. Five of those six matches went over the total in MLB gambling.
The Royals have not been quite good at home or on the road in baseball gambling. Since their prices are higher on the road, they actually have a little more value there. The Royals have lost 8 from 11 overall and 4 consecutive on the road. Kansas City is below average in hitting and in pitching so it is difficult to take them despite having their big prices.
Minnesota has been quite good at home and just .500 on the road. That could be good enough however to win the American League Central. The Twins are about average in hitting however their pitching has been strong, rating in the top 10 in the league.
