Texas at Minnesota

Texas is a talented team in a mini-slump. They've lost six in a row, two by one run and another by two runs. The offense is second in runs scored, slugging, and on-base percentage, while the pitching is 12th in ERA. They're 5-2 in the last seven starts made by Andrew Heaney with a one-run loss to Milwaukee in his last start. The Rangers are 40-20 against AL teams with a batting average of .255 or worse, plus 20-10 versus an AL starter with a WHIP of 1.300 or better. Minnesota is on a 2-5 run including losses as favorites of -110, -165, and -175. The offense is 18th in runs scored and 19th in on-base percentage and starter Pablo Lopez has a 4.30 ERA at home this season. With the Twins 15-25 at home against the AL West and 64-82 versus a team with a bullpen WHIP of 1.250 or better, the wagering value is on the visitors to win the game or lose by one run.
