Texas at Minnesota

The Twins have played themselves out of the AL Central race, and once a dominating force at home has only won four of their last 12 played here. Brian Duensing will make his third big league start, and he has pitched to a 4.91 ERA against the soft-hitting Royals and White Sox. He will face a very potent Rangers’ lineup that has to be feeling good winning two of three at Yankee Stadium. The Rangers’ lineup is feasting on ordinary pitching as they are now 23-7 against a starter with a WHIP of above 1.30 in their last 30 games, and with Hunter on the hill as a favorite, the Rangers have won their last four. The Twins are just 3-9 in their last 12 against the West, and as a home dog they have shown no bite dropping their last four. I'll go with the Rangers here.
