The Twins are one game shy of .500 for the season, but that doesn't speak of the problems they have had on the road. The Twins come to Tampa with the fewest road wins in baseball at five, while dropping 14. They are just 1-9 over their last 10 games on the road, and in the nine losses have been outscored 27-52. They will face the Rays’ ace, James Shields who has been lights out at home over his career. The last three seasons have seen Shields produce an 18-6 mark at home, with his worst season being an ERA of 3.53, but last year 2.59, and this season-to-date 2.89. He squares-off against Scott Baker who has been awful on the road, posting an 0-2 mark and 9.31 ERA. The Twins’ struggles against the American League East have been ongoing, where they enter this one just 16-35 in their last 51 games. The Rays are 22-7 in Shield's last 29 home starts, and they have a big edge in this one. I’ll tale the Rays on the moneyline here.
