Pittsburgh has lost eight of their 10 games away from home and Ian Snell is 1-6 in his last 7 road starts. Take the Rockies at home

Play: Money Line: -121 Minnesota Twins Play Title:
Click Here to View Play Analysis
Minnesota over Texas The Twins continue to be under priced as the general public has yet to recognize that this is a very good baseball team. Sure the off-season losses of Santana and Hunter hurt, but Minnesota has never been a team who won with superstar play. Minnesota is on a 21-7 run since mid-June and the pitching staff could very well be considered the best in the league one through five. Kevin Millwood takes the mound for the Rangers and he has yet to defeat the Twins. He is 0-5 with a 5.85 career ERA vs Minnesota. The veteran right-hander has not had a good season and he has been especially weak as of late. In his last four starts he has allowed 16 earned runs in just 20.1 innings of work. What makes those numbers even worse is the fact that he allowed just a single home run in those four starts. Millwood has lasted past six innings just once in his last 15 starts which means the league's worst bullpen will be getting an early call. The Twins are averaging 6.02 runs per game in the Metrodome vs right-handed starters. They should have little problem reaching those numbers against this very weak Texas pitching staff. Glenn Perkins has been a pleasant surprise for the host. The young lefty has produced quality starts in five of his last six appearances with the Twins posting a 5-1 record in those starts. He works fast and throws strikes which is all that's needed with this solid defense around him. Texas is known for their offensive prowess but they struggle on the road vs lefties. The Rangers average just 3.86 runs per game in that situation hitting just .233 in the process. Josh Hamilton stole the show in the home run derby but who walked away with the trophy? The less flashy Twins steal the spotlight away once more as they continue their quest to catch the White Sox. PLAY MINNESOTA
