inside info from my buddy in vegas...take it for what it's worth. he is good...very good. but not perfect.

D.Lowe will be 39 years old in two weeks. He is not a young star who can pitch great on regular rest any more. In his last two starts he faced the #1 and #2 lineups in the nation in runs scored and threw 107 and 104 pitches. His team is 2-5 in last 7 games winning last night by 1 run and scoring only 1 run three times during that 7 game stretch. His pen allowed 9 earned runs in 5 innings in last two games and that unit is already ranked #25 in the majors in ERA. Minnesota is a bad team but half of their home losses were by 1 run compared to only 2 one run losses out of 12 road losses this season. Six of their ten wins this season came at home. The best plays here are Minnesota +1.5 run (-133) and Minnesota team total over 4 (-106). If you want some just for fun action then add Minnesota +2.5 for half unit.
