Line stinks, and I'm not touching Dream Weaver tonight.
Usually I don't let the line dictate my plays, but this line is off, like 35 cents off.
Weaver coming off that no-no, is undefeated this year, has that microscopic 1.61 ERA, has that unbelievably low 0.78 WH/IP ratio, striking out almost double digit batters every start, against a pathetic Minny team, starting a pitcher (Liriano) who hasn't been right in a couple of years now, who sports a ludicrous 9.97 ERA with a really ludicrous 2.22 WH/IP ratio.
Hmm, let's see, Liriano allows more base runners in an inning than Weaver allows runs in a game, Weaver hasn't lost all year, Liriano hasn't won a game all year, Angels hit Liriano really hard, Twins can't touch Weaver.
No brainer, right?
Sorry, not biting.
I can see a 3-2 Twins win, say a scratch run in the bottom of the ninth, Weaver getting out in the eight, 2 runs, 1 earned, NO DECISION.
I can see that easily happening tonight
