Minnesota at Oakland

The Oakland A's exploded for 14 runs against the hapless Twins last night, the first time they have gotten to double-digits this year. It is also the first time they have managed ten or more runs in a game since July 24th of last year. They have been at three runs or less 24 times on the season. The two runs scored by the Twins last night matches their last five game average. It was the 17th time already this season the Twins have failed to top the two run mark. They managed just two runs earlier this season at home in 7.1 innings vs. tonight's pitcher Brandon McCarthy and will be hard pressed to top that on the road. The Twins are now 4-17 in their last 21 after scoring two or less in their last game and 0-6 in Pavano's last six road starts. The A's are now 16-5 in their last 21 at home vs. a road team under .400 and a resounding 30-11 to the UNDER in series lid lifters. I like Oakland on the runline and the UNDER here.
