[TonyP]

any thoughts on this game guys.

[denn333]

i think the twins win again.

[HedBustah1]

I'm on kc only cause I have them in a chase, hope they avoid the sweep.

[WiseGrumpy]

Had a be bet on the first two. Same thing today. If they lose it will be a monster upset.

[Kraghen]

Maybe it's time for Kansas City to win their match against the Twins... I'm with the Twins thought. Just wondering if the twins would be motivated enought to win one more time against KC

[Paradroid]

Bannister 5.73 ERA
Twins are crushing the ball right now

[TonyP]

played the Twins after the feedback here and Cubs in the afternoon games

[superman613]

gotta go with the twins to sweep here

[Haydos]

Can't see any reason not to like the twins.... unless you think they are due for a loss
They are one game behind the White Sox, so I think that would be motivation enough.
If the twins remain hot, they may even hit the over by themselves again..

[Rookie-Capper]

I like the twins

[ex50warrior]

I'm having a hard time putting much $ on the Twins with Duensing getting a start.

[Razorbacks1]

I also like the Twins in this spot, but will pass on this one. One of my few rules in betting baseball is NEVER bet a road favorite trying to sweep.

[Bostongambler]

I would have to lean toward the Twinkies as well.

[JMUplayer]

(-125) on the Twins... REALLY?
Duensing has been throwing VERY well all year..... KC will be glad to see them leave.

Ride the Twins hard and long like the ez girl back in high school.

[Ralphie1412]

I might just play the twins team total if it itsnt too high. I see no reason why there bats cool off against this pitcher.

[TonyP]

Thank everyone good luck

[thespeculator]

took the twins yesterday , have to go back to them again today, trade morneau for a pitcher, the have plenty of bats

This has the makings of a trap game with 70%+ of the public going on the MINN Moneyline and RunLine. Especially at the cheap price I purchased Minn last night at -129.

I'm on a 22-8 roll since last Tuesday. I HATE betting public favorites....my angle is to look for a way to bet against the public, staying the hell away from heavy favorites. I could be spitting in the face of my own system but I don't see how the Twins lose this game short of a Kansas City Miracle.

Minnesota (55-46) has scored 30 runs in winning the first two games of the KC series., Valencia posted four-hit efforts each time. His first career homer was a grand slam in Tuesday's 19-1 rout, and he added three RBIs in Wednesday's 11-2 victory.

The Twins have 39 hits in the series, seven by Joe Mauer. The catcher went 5 for 5 on Tuesday with a career-high seven RBIs and drove in two more runs Wednesday.

The Twins have won four straight, and are one game behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central.

Brian Duensing (3-1, 1.69 ERA) will make his second start for Minnesota since replacing an ineffective Nick Blackburn in the rotation. Duensing allowed one run over five innings Friday and did not get a decision in a 3-2 loss at Baltimore in his first 2010 start -- a 66-pitch outing.

The left-hander made one start against the Royals last year on Aug. 22, allowing one run in five innings to earn his first career victory in an 8-7 win. He has a 3.38 ERA in five relief appearances against them this year.

Minnesota looks to take advantage of struggling Brian Bannister (7-9, 5.73), who is 0-4 with a 7.07 ERA in his last five outings. He lasted 4 2/3 innings and gave up four runs -- all in the first inning -- Friday in a 7-1 loss at Yankee Stadium.

The right-hander should be helped by the afternoon start time since he's 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA in seven day outings compared to 2-6 with a 7.10 ERA in 11 at night.

12 losses in 15 games for the Royals since a 10-3 run prompted hopes for a strong second-half finish. That includes three straight losses in what is now a historically bad three-game stretch.

BOTTOM LINE: RIDE THOSE TWINS! 3.5*

[tzMoney]

I forgot to mention that the Twins lineup is batting .294 in 170 plate appearances against Bannister with a .435 team slugging percentage.

[Rixsaw]

My deduction of this game.
1. I can't go against a home team trying to avoid a sweep --> fade the Twin
2. I have no confidence that KC can avoid the sweep --> no play on KC
--> better bet is on Twins TT or over for the game.

BOL.

Have to agree totally Duensing has been great this year so far.

[legendmatt34]

twins on a rolll

[TWEETS]

Bannister is a great day game pitcher, like the royals or the over here.

[Yezzir]

Bannister is a great day game pitcher, like the royals or the over here.

Exactly why i'm on KC.

He's a better day time pitcher, he's better at home,a nd he gets good run support.

KC for me, a good value home dog.

[empty cookie jar]

not sure about those minny soter twins today

[bruenc]

With Delmon and Valencia...and the rest of the team for that matter crushing lately gotta take the twinkies

[BeatBookieDOWNNN]

I took the Twins last night for over half of my bankroll and I don't see why not put big money on them again today...I know they are going for the sweep, but they are doing this for a reason. They are swinging the hell outta their bats. I'm most likely hopping back on the Twins bandwagon in a few minutes to take the series 3-0.

[JMUplayer]

ummm yeah 4-0 twins in the 3rd..... why does work ban my sportsbetting.. dang daygames

[obamaismyuncle]

ride the twins till they lose

[darrell74]

ride the twins till they lose

Agreed.

First 5, and the game.
Personally, won my last 5 wagers with the Twinkies on the first 5 and the game.
