Texas is in a bit of a tailspin having dropped four of their last five. The last game was a complete embarassment as they lost at home by 10 runs to Minnesota. Prior to that win, the Twins were 3-13 on the road. Can the Twinkies pull off back-to-back road wins? No way! Lightning doesn't strike twice in the Lone Star State. Consider the other trends that were bucked with yesterday's Minnesota win. The Twins were 15-38 as a road dog and 0-12 on the road vs. teams with an on-base percentage of .345 or better over the past two seasons going into last night. They were also What's the likelyhood they get another road win? Texas is 21-4 as a home favorite of -150 to -175 and 21-8 as a home favorite revenging a win over the past couple of seasons. Also consider that underdogs of +125 to +175 that draw 3 walks or less/game, after scoring 12 runs or more are just 8-42 (16%) since 1997. Texas to bounce back here.
