The Twins started out poorly, had a lot of injury issues to key players, and a rotation that was under-achieving which led to disaster. They have recovered in a big way and suddenly stand at 19-9 in their last 28 games. It is easy to see what has happened to this team. The bats, which were dormant through the team's first 38 games, produced 5 runs or more in just seven of them or 18.4% of the time. What has happened since has been remarkable as the sleepy Twin's offense has awakened to the tune of scoring 5+ in 23 of their last 42, or 54.8% of the time - a night and day difference from the first 38. When you’re scoring 5 runs per game the majority of the time, you’re gonna win a lot of games. So looking at the runline here, at +1.5 offers some tremendous value, especially with the Rays losing four of their last five as a favorite of -151 to -200. Take Minnesota on the runline.
