Minnesota at The

The Athletics' early-season hopes for a much-improved year are going down the tubes as they have lost 17 of their last 18 games and six in a row after being swept in a four-game series at Toronto. Minnesota has also slowed down, but the Twins still are four games over .500, and they are 10-2 as road favorites of -151 to -200. They wasted a good pitching performance by Chris Paddack yesterday and will have Joe Ryan starting tonight. Ryan is 5-2 with a 2.57 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP. Minnesota has won its past four starts, allowing only six runs in 36 innings. The Twins are 6-1 in their past seven games after scoring two or fewer runs in their previous game. Luis Severino has pitched in hard luck recently as the Athletics have lost his past four starts, although he has given up a total of four runs in his past three. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in Ryan's past six road starts, and the Twins are 6-0-1 UNDER when he pitches after they allowed two or fewer runs in their previous game. Take the Twins and the UNDER.
