Oakland at Minnesota

Oakland has lost five in a row while scoring only 12 runs, including a 5-4 loss to San Diego on Wednesday when rookie Jackson Merrill hit a walk-off solo shot in the ninth for the Padres. Minnesota has won three of four after clobbering Colorado 17-9 as the Twins scored five runs in the first inning and seven more in the eighth. Joe Ryan has a 0.97 WHIP while pitching better than his 4-5 record indicates and he allowed two runs on two hits in seven innings against Pittsburgh on Friday. The Twins have won five of six of Ryan's starts after they gave up at least five runs their previous game and they have won his past four home starts against teams with losing records. Oakland is 5-0 UNDER its past five games in the first game of a series and Minnesota is 10-1-1 UNDER following a win. Take the Twins (Max Play), and bet this game UNDER as a Max Play.
