Cincinnati at Minnesota

The Minnesota Twins and Cincinnati Reds have played the early part of the season like playoff contenders. They both enter this contest at 11-8. The Reds have gotten very solid pitching, and as a team, they have allowed just 77 runs on the season, or 4 a contest. The Reds have played their best baseball on the road, where they have started 5-2 on the season. The pitching has done a much better job on the road, where they are allowing just 3 runs per game, and 5 of the 7 opponents have scored 3 runs or fewer in their road tilts. Couple that with the fact that Cincinnati is 6-3 in their last 9 games vs. the AL Central, and I like Cincinnati in this one.
