Houston at Minnesota

Houston stepped onto Target Field for the first time last night, and looked to be on their way to a win. But as they have done so many times this season, they coughed the game up in the 9th, losing 4-3 in 13 innings. That should give Minnesota a boost as it snapped a four-game losing streak. Erik Bedard suffered his fourth straight loss his last time out, and he is limited to around 100 pitches. The Houston pen has also been bad, and after working through 13 innings last night there isn't much left out there. Houston is now 46-127 in their last 173 as a road dog, which includes 12-48 on the road vs. a team with a losing home record. The Twins have won 8 of their last 10 as a home favorite, and have a big edge for this one. Take Minnesota.
