Another reason why I am backing the Twins over here is that they will have their bullpen fresh and ready if their starting ace somehow runs into trouble. Last night starting pitcher did pitched a complete game which was a very good performance. The Twins could have put more runs on the board if they were not too complacent; the number of hits and singles that everyone is chipping in certainly helps them to put numbers on the board and I really do not think the Astros are good enough against this American outfit.

Furthermore, the Twins are in catching distance of first place Tigers which will give them extra believe to go out there and do their job.  As another backup for the other pick, I will suggest the Twins win by 5 runs.

Pick: Twins win by 5runs @15.00
