Minnesota has been a streaky team all season and now it is on another one having won six in a row after defeating Tampa Bay 7-6 on Tuesday. Carlos Santana's pinch-hit single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning won it for the Twins, who improved to 23-14 at home, and the Rays remained in last place in the AL East as they lost for the seventh time in 10 games. The Twins have won six straight as favorites of -151 to -200 and the Rays are 1-7 versus teams with winning records. Tampa Bay is 1-8 in Taj Bradley's past nine starts as an underdog of +110 to +150. The UNDER is 5-0 in Joe Ryan's past five starts after his team scored at least five runs the previous game. Ryan is 4-1 with a 2.58 ERA and a .191 opponent batting average in night games this season. Take the Twins (Max Play), and bet the UNDER.
