WIN

The Twins have been light years apart when they play at home vs. on the road. The Twins have been 81-48 at the Metrodome the past two seasons, while only 54-72 on the road. That takes a championship-caliber team with a .628 winning percentage and reduces them to a poor .429 team. Nick Blackburn has followed that path, and then some. While the Twins have ridden his pitching at home to a 9-1 mark in his last 10 home starts, they have severely struggled with him when he takes the hill on the road as they are a woeful 3-13 in his last 16 road starts. The Twins are also a much worse offense on the road coming in at -1.3 runs per game on the road vs. their home production. We have a live dog here, so the A's get the call.
