Premium Picks
San Francisco at Minnesota
The San Francisco Giants have held their own in the rugged NL West. The Dodgers were supposed to run away with the division, but find themselves in a battle. The Padres are one game out, and the Giants two. The Giants have maintained a winning record on the road this season. Minnesota has managed to win six straight games. The Twins' pitching staff has been hot. Their opponents in the six-game winning streak scored 13 runs, or about two per contest. The Twins have been an UNDER team over the last couple of weeks, as they have been 9-3 to the UNDER in their previous 12. These teams scored just four runs in the series opener last night, and Webb and Ryan both take the mound tonight with ERA's in the 2's. Make the play UNDER the total.

The Giants have played four of their last five games to the OVER. The Minnesota Twins are 18-20 and fourth in the AL Central, but they've won five straight, plating 28 runs or 5.6 per contest. Both these teams are trending towards the OVER, and I don't see anything different here. Bet the Giants/Twins OVER the total.

Premium Picks
Minnesota at San Francisco
The San Francisco Giants have had a season built upon one step forward and one step back. They have been on both sides of .500 and currently below, and have some work to do this weekend. The Twins have had a busy schedule, having made up a game with a doubleheader. The Giants have been more like the above .500 version, as they are 11-8 in their last 19 games. The Twins are looking vulnerable tonight, and the good version of this Giant team is at home, which I think, will be the difference. Make the play on San Francisco.
