4/3/17
1-0, RoR 98%
Twins -109 (Santana 23-7) / Duffy (17-9). Posted last night.
Tigers-White Sox, Verlander (26-8) / Quintana (23-9) First 5 Innings, Under 4, -120
Like Cubs-Cards last night, a premier matchup of aces, both of whom rolled through ST like they never took a break at all. Neither offense was impressive, especially the Tigers at the front end of their order.
A 95% chance of rain may cancel this ticket but if they do play and get in the first 5 innings I won’t care about the balance. It is also going to be cold (about 46) with light cross winds from left to right. None of that concerns me.
I always wish I knew the home plate umpire but I don’t fear not knowing that today. In cold, rainy weather the umpire is no more inclined to work a long day than anyone else. Even a hitter friendly umpire is likely to have a little wider strike zone today and our two starters may be able to pick it to death.
