Matchup History

San Francisco’s 4-1 win on Monday snapped Minnesota’s three-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

San Francisco is 4-10 in their last 14 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 games against the AL Central while the under is 9-1 in their last 10 game two matchups. Minnesota is 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 4-0 in their last 4 game two matchups while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 interleague games.

Pick

I’m backing the under here. I think this has all of the makings of a rock solid pitcher’s duel as Alex Cobb’s pitched well on the road and Sonny Gray has established himself as the ace of the Twins rotation this season. All in all, I think we have a low-scoring battle on our hands, so give me the under here.
