Texas at Minnesota

Minnesota got off to that wretched start, but is finally hitting the baseball, and is 2-2 in their last four games scoring 19 runs. They won twice as a dog of +157 and +129. Texas won yesterday 6-2, but both teams had 13 hits, so the Twins are hitting. They rank No. 6 in batting average (.262) and No. 9 in OBP. Texas plays its third straight road game and go with 23-year-old Neftali Feliz, who was the closer last season and is still a question mark as a starter. He was limited in the spring with shoulder soreness, too. Texas has never seen Minnesota starter Liam Hendriks who makes his first start, and the kid was 12-6 in the minors in 2011 with 111 Ks in 139 innings and only 21 walks. He won his final five decisions with New Britain in 2011, posting a 1.80 ERA (20 innings pitched, four earned runs) over his last three starts. The Rangers are also 19-39 in the last 58 meetings in Minnesota. Play the Minnesota Twins.
