2015 Season MLB Baseball Past Picks

This is the 10th straight home game for Minnesota, and the third straight road contest for Cleveland. Cleveland looks out of gas, losing two in a row and four of six. The Indians are 1-4 against a team with a winning record and 2-6 on the road vs. a right-handed starter. This Indians offense is poor, at #20 in runs scored, and #22 in slugging. The Minnesota Twins have plenty to play for, creeping in on a potential Wild Card spot. Minnesota pulled within one game of Houston for the second AL Wild Card spot by defeating Cleveland 4-2 on Wednesday for its third straight victory. Minnesota is #12 in baseball in runs scored despite playing their home games in a big park. The Twins are 21-8 at home against a team with a winning road record. Twins starter Kyle Gibson (10-10, 3.73 ERA) has been solid and has a 3.10 ERA at home. The team is 11-2 when Gibsons faces an opponent with a losing record and he hasn't lost at Target Field since falling to the New York Yankees on July 26. The Twins are 28-13 at home against a team with a losing record, Cleveland is 0-4 in this park, so the home team holds all the cards. Take Minnesota.
