Oakland at Minnesota

The Minnesota Twins have been a pesky team, and have played .500 baseball over their last 10 games at 5-5. They seem to have a knack for winning when least expected, and they will get a chance to do some damage vs. the Oakland A's at home tonight. Oakland is fresh off of taking three of four from lowly Houston. Jarrod Parker has not lost since May 22, and has been consistently good, but these stretches don't last forever. Minnesota is a surprising 18-8 in their last 26 vs. the AL West where they have had their most success. The A's have lost momentum and faltered in five of their last six when following an off day. The Twins are off a win, and have been solid in series openers where they are 8-3 over their last 11. Play on Minnesota.
