I missed the early line and settled for Twins +137.

Danks got bombed in his last start, is unproven on three days rest and was terrible in four starts vs. the Twins this year. Blackburn pitched well vs. the Sox last time, the Twins are batting .295 vs. lefties the last 10 games, but ulimately I think the final determining factor will be the better Minnesota bullpen.

Blackburn has been garbage of late.

Danks vs those 2. LOL

does not look good there.

Blackburn has been garbage of late.

True but his last start was his best in a while, and it happened to be against the Sox.

Besides, the good Minny pen will allow Gardy to have a quick hook.

Twins +money

Value is on the Twins. If Blackburn has trouble they can still pitch Liriano if needed. If Liriano is on, he would shut down the White Sox. Danks got shelled last start and pitching on 3 days rest.
