Highest total on the board, but the Twins are 7-2 UNDER the total on the road. Last place Minnesota has some offensive problems, 21st in batting average and 26th in slugging. They also have a strong starter going in Philiip Hughes (9-5, 3.70 ERA). You need good control in a park like Coors Field and Hughes is outstanding with 11 walks in 116+ innings. Hughes tossed 7.1 scoreless innings Tuesday against the Mariners. He allowed eight hits, struck out eight, and didn't issue a single walk. The UNDER is 25-8-3 when the Twins face a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, as well as 9-3-1 UNDER the total against a team with a losing record. Colorado is on a 5-1 run UNDER the total at home, and starter Brett Anderson (3.60 ERA) makes his return, a fine pitcher. When these teams meet, the UNDER is 6-2 the last eight meetings, including 4-1 UNDER tihe total here in Colorado. Play Minnesota/Colorado UNDER the total.
