Baltimore at Minnesota

Minnesota has to sweep the series with the Orioles and hope either Kansas City or Detroit also gets swept this weekend to gain a playoff berth. The Twins will go all out to win this one and they are 7-0 in Pablo Lopez's past seven starts after allowing at least five runs their previous game. Minnesota is 7-0 in Lopez's past seven starts as a favorite of -151 to -200 and the Twins have won five straight when he starts on four days rest. Baltimore has lost six of 10 and got destroyed 10-1 by the Yankees on Thursday. Cade Povich is 2-9 with a 5.59 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP and the Orioles have lost his past three starts. The Twins have won 12 of their past 16 home games against Baltimore and Povich is 0-5 with a 9.75 ERA in six road starts. Take the Twins.
