Premium Pick

Minnesota goes for its fifth consecutive win after sweeping the woeful Chicago White Sox over the weekend. The Twins have won six in a row versus right-handed starters, and the Cubs have lost four of Kyle Hendricks' past five home starts. David Festa will make his fourth start for the Twins, and he has allowed three runs on seven hits in 9 1/3 innings in his past two outings. Hendricks is 3-9 with a 6.86 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP, and Chicago has lost 15 of his 20 starts this season. He hasn't fared any better at home, where he has a .303 opponent batting average. The Cubs have gone UNDER four straight home games against teams with winning road records, and Minnesota has allowed three or fewer runs in four of its past five games. The Cubs are 10-3 UNDER their past 13 home games. Take the Twins as a Max Play and the UNDER.
