ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Run Line: Minnesota Twins -1.5 runs (-110) over Baltimore Orioles, Tuesday at 7:05 PM ET - A lot working in our favor with this one. Minnesota has beaten Baltimore 16 straight times! Additionally, the Orioles enter this game on a current 14-game losing streak! The Twins 3-2 win in extra innings yesterday was a rare 1-run loss for Baltimore as 11 of the 13 that preceded it all came by a margin of 2 or more runs. It has been a dreadful run for the Orioles and we look for the Twins to beat them for a 17th straight time in this one. Though Minnesota is down a couple of players for this one, those include the left-handed bats of Arraez and Kepler who do not hit lefties well anyway. They would have been unlikely to excel against left-hander Bruce Zimmerman anyway. That said, the rest of the Twins lineup is likely to pound the southpaw. He has been hit hard in all but one of his last 8 starts. Overall on the season Zimmerman is getting hit at a .300 clip in home games and a .355 clip in night games! He's facing a Twins team that has a slugging percentage ranking in the top ten in the majors against southpaw pitching and, again, neither Arraez or Kepler helped that number. Additionally, the Twins start a red hot Michael Pineda here. He has a 2.62 ERA and 0.99 WHIP on the season! To put that in proper perspective, Zimmerman has a 5.52 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in his home starts this season. Also, the Orioles are an ugly 1-7 in Zimmerman's starts this season. That drops to 1-8 after this one as Baltimore's overall struggles (plus losing streak to the Twins) continue here. Per our computer math model a road rout is quite likely in this one. As you can see above, all the key edges are with the road team in this one and we are grabbing them on the run line. Blowout alert! Bet the Minnesota Twins -1.5 runs on the run line.
