Minnesota at Philadelphia

The Minnesota Twins started the road trip with a win in Detroit and then lost the last three games of that series I think it will do them good to move on from Detroit and head to Philadelphia. The Phillies won't catch the Braves in the NL East, but they currently hold down the top wild-card spot in the NL. The Phillies are 5-2 in their first seven games of a 10-game home stand, but those games were vs Kansas City and Washington. The Twins will send Dallas Kuechel to the mound. Kuechel has made four career starts vs the Twins and has posted a stellar 2.67 ERA in the four games. Christopher Sanchez will make his first start for the Phillies so I think there is a clear edge on the mound for the Twins here, as they present as a live dog. Make the play on Minnesota.
