Minnesota at Baltimore

Minnesota struggled to score runs while getting swept in a three-game series at Atlanta, but the Twins go to Baltimore now and will face Dean Kremer, who has a 4.34 ERA in June while allowing 16 runs (14 earned) on 30 hits in 29 innings. The current Twins that have faced Kremer are 7-for-13 for a .538 batting average against him plus a 1.077 slugging percentage. The Orioles have lost two straight following Wednesday's 11-7 defeat against Cincinnati. Pablo Lopez has pitched better than his record indicates with a 1.16 WHIP and he also has done his best work on the road where he owns a 2.94 ERA and .219 opponent batting average compared to 5.94 and .246 at home. Minnesota's bullpen is tied for seventh in the majors with a 1.23 WHIP. The Twins have won 11 of the past 16 meetings and the Orioles. Take the Twins.
