Tampa Bay at Minnesota

Trade rumors swirl around Tampa Bay concerning both Ben Zobrist. David Price, and perhaps others. It has to impact the morale of this team that had a disappointing first half with management already conceding and looking ahead to next year. Kyle Gibson has out pitched Alex Cobb this season, and the line here is puzzling as the Twins feel they can still make a run, while Tampa Bay is considering options to reduce payroll and restock the roster with young players. The Rays own a 4-10 record on the road in their last 14 vs. a losing team, and Cobb has been inconsistent as the Rays are 0-4 in his last four starts when following a quality start in his last outing. The Twins are an impressive 7-1 behind Gibson as a dog from +110 to +150 in his last eight starts in that role. Go with Minnesota in this one.
