Matchup History

Minnesota’s 9-7 win on Saturday snapped Toronto’s two-game head-to-head win streak in this matchup.

Trends

Toronto is 2-8 in their last 10 games overall and 9-2 in their last 11 games against the AL Central while the over is 10-1 in their last 11 Sunday games. Minnesota is 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win and 1-4 in their last 5 games overall while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games against the AL East.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. Jose Berrios has struggled in each of his four starts against his former team and while he’s pitched well as of late, he’s still had his fair share of struggles on the road this season. On the other side, Bailey Ober’s had issues against Toronto of his own, and these are two teams that have been crushing right-handed pitching over the last couple of weeks. Give me the over here.
