#969/970 ASA top play on 10* OVER 8.5 Minnesota Twins @ Texas Rangers, 8:05 PM ET - Jose Berrios has been the Twins most consistent starter this season by far and is a fantastic pitcher. However, when he has struggled through the years it has tended to be on the road and his starts at Texas have been no exception. In his last two outings (both on the road) against the Rangers, Berrios has been rocked for 8 earned runs in 8 and 1 / 3 innings. The Twins right-hander allowed 5 homers in those two starts. None of the Rangers last 5 games have resulted in an under and Texas has averaged scoring 5.5 runs in its last four games. The point is that it will not be surprising to see Berrios have some struggles in this match-up. However, the good news for Berrios (and for Twins fans) is that he should get plenty of run support in this one! Minnesota will be able to tee off against a struggling Mike Foltneywicz. The Rangers right-hander has allowed 12 earned runs on 16 hits in 6 and 1 / 3 innings with 5 home runs surrendered in his last three starts. Also, against the Twins, Foltneywicz has 3 career starts and all resulted in an over and he compiled a 6.32 ERA in those outings. Though some of that is a few years back, in terms of current form this season, Foltneywicz is truly having a rough time. This includes the Texas righty going 1-4 with a 6.88 ERA and .336 BAA in his night starts this season. Look for the over to improve to 7-3 in the Twins last 10 games with a high-scoring one tonight. This total is in the 8.5 range but our computer math model shows this one getting into double digits in runs scored with each club enjoying success at the plate and having a solid shot of getting to 5 runs apiece which, of course, would mean at least 11 runs (6-5 final at a minimum) in this one.
