The Minnesota Twins made some moves to strengthen their rotation in the offseason. They ran all over the Kansas City Royals in their opener with a 10-1 laugher. They have gotten great production from Chris Colabello, who knocked in three runs yesterday to claim a tie for the MLB lead in RBI with 14. Ricky Nolasco is better than he has shown, and with the Royals seeing him for the first time ever, he should have an edge here in this one. James Shields has pitched well, now in his second season with the Royals, but the lineup produces runs at a slow rate, and he has yet to earn a win. The Twins have gotten to him in the past as his ERA is 4.20 against them, and the bats are hot right now for the dog. Take Minnesota on the runline.
