Minnesota at Tampa Bay

The name on the back of the uniform sometimes holds the line down on the opposing team. Francisco Liriano has one of those names, but since his injury, he simply has not been anything close to what earned him the reputation. Three years ago, Liriano looked like he was going to match Johan Santana win for win, but after surgery, he has lost three MPH off his pitches, and a whole lot of confidence to go with it. The 144 Ks in 120 innings has been replaced by less than a strikeout per inning. And the 32 walks in 120 innings, have almost been matched in 54 innings this season, as he is becoming bat shy - not trusting his stuff. Tampa will go with David Price, one of the top prospects in baseball and was nervous his first time out, but should settle down here. The Twins are the worst road team in baseball, so I'll back Tampa in this one.
