Minnesota at Oakland

July has seen the highest percentage of favorites win in any month in any year dating back to 2004. The Minnesota Twins aren't a likely source to offer resistance to that trend as they enter here with a 55-73 road record in their last 128 despite being 81-48 over the same period at home. Glen Perkins got out of the gate with three strong performances, allowing four runs and worked eight innings in each of his first three starts pitching to a 1.50 ERA. He hasn't found the magic since as he has not gone eight innings in any outing since and has posted a 6.07 ERA since. Trevor Cahill is a young pitcher and when things go bad as they have in four of his starts, he falls apart, but when they don't which has been 15 of his 19 starts, he has been tough as he has posted a 2.91 ERA in those 15 starts, certainly a pitcher in control more often than not. I'm going with the A's on the runline.
