Phillip (P.J) Walters makes his third start of the season.
His first two starts were solid.
Going six strong innings in his first start, losing to the Blue Jays 2-1. Not his fault the offense let him down.
Last start he beat a very good Tiger line up, going deep into the seventh inning before getting the hook in a 4-3 win.
He did give up 4 hits on 3 solo homers though in that win, but the kid knows how to pitch.
Scouts think he's a poor mans Wainwright.
PJ Walters is, for all intensive purposes, a finished product. He mixes his pitches well. He has an advanced offspeed pitch and good-not-great breaking stuff. He has a little bit of deception in his delivery hiding the ball before coming in with a somewhat odd arm angle. He’s rather lanky in appearance (think Wainwright but shorter) making some wonder how he’d hold up under 180-200 innings.
Twins pound Gavin Floyd, which is a big reason why I'm backing them tonight.
52 for 138 can not be ignored, that's a giant sample size, and it got my attention, Twins in the past own Floyd.

I love the Twins as a +140 bow-wow tonight.
