Minnesota at Baltimore

Minnesota has better offensive talent than we've seen so far. It will help to face a pitcher with average stuff, like they face here in Jason Hammel. Picked-up from Colorado, Hammell went 7-13 with a 4.76 ERA. He allowed more hits than innings pitched, but most alarming was his 68 walks in 170 innings. He puts a lot of guys on base, which was why he was 3-9 with a 5.30 ERA at home. Speaking of throwing strikes, that's what Twins starter Anthony Swarzak does best, walking just 13 batters in 63 2/3 innings last year. Swarzak started two games during spring training (both wins) and permitted only one run over a span of 9 2/3 innings. He also posted six strikeouts. The Twins are 5-1 in Swarzak's last six starts as an underdog of +110 to +150. Play the Minnesota Twins.
