Joe Mauer has 34 at-bats this season for the Twins, and Justin Morneau is hitting .237 with a pair of homers and just 13 RBI. The Twins’ offensive burden falls in their hands and with next-to-nothing from their two most dependable hitters, runs are not crossing the plate in big doses for the Twins. The Mariners struck gold with 6 runs in San Diego for the win Sunday, but don't be fooled, this attack is punchless. The M's have scored 4 or fewer runs in 16 of their last 19 games. When they have exceeded the 4 mark, they followed with 2 and 1 runs. That is not just a recent trend, but long-term as the M's are now 35-15-5 to the UNDER after plating 5 or more in their previous game. These teams have produced just three overs in their last 16 meetings, suggesting the smart money is on the UNDER, which is my call.
