Houston at Minnesota

The Minnesota Twins were the big surprise a year ago, when they went from a 103-loss team in 2016, to a playoff team in 2017. That may be hard to duplicate this season, as the Twins' rash of injuries early on has their rotation in shambles. Pineda, Santana, Hughes, and May are all on the DL at this point, and they will wheel out Jake Odorizzi. It isn't likely he will slow down the 11-2 Astros, who as expected, have been outright scary. The Astros won Game 1 via the shutout, and have out-scored their 13 opponents 49-25 so far this season. The Astros came to Minnesota last year and swept a three game series by out-scoring the Twins 40-16. Kuechel did not face the Twins last year, and should continue the winning ways of Houston both on the season and in Minnesota. Take Houston.
