Kansas City at Minnesota

The Royals have taken a shot on Bruce Chen, but he has been floating in and out of baseball and stands at just 7-16 in his last 23 starts. The Twins have not lost a step in their new stadium, picking up where they left off in the Metrodome with a cool 20-9 mark at home. Put them at home vs a lefthand pitcher and they become a super team at 39-14 in their last 53. Put Baker on the mound in Minnesota as a favorite and the Twins are thriving at 15-4 in his last 19. The Royals have gotten used to falling to the Twins as they are just 5-17 in the last 22 meetings and an even worse 1-7 in their last 8 in Minnesota. I'll back Minnesota here.
