Minnesota at Washington

Minnesota plays its fourth straight road game losing six in a row. Pablo Lopez tries to be the stopper but has a 4.50 ERA on the road. The Minnesota offense is just 25th in on-base percentage. The Twins are 16-33 on the road after playing three straight against a divisional foe. Washington is 24-16 after allowing eight or more runs. Starter Mitchell Parker (3.09 ERA) has a 1.42 ERA at home where he's holding batters to a .182 average and this is an excellent situational and matchup spot for the home dog. Play Washington.
