Oakland at Minnesota

The Oakland A's are very pitching dependent and lately that simply hasn't been enough. Oakland has a very poor offense, now having lost seven in a row. That bad offense is mired in a deep slump and has produced just 12 runs in their last seven games. Minnesota is a bad team, that is now feeling good about themselves as they pushed across three in the bottom of the ninth yesterday to get the walk off win. It boosted the Twins to over .500 in their last 13 games and confidence is a great motivator. The Twins sweet spot has been as a small to intermediate favorite where they have now produced an 83-40 mark in their last 123 as a favorite from -110 to -150. They have also taken seven of their last ten behind Liriano as a favorite. Play on Minnesota.
