Toronto at Minnesota

Toronto has been awful on the road (9-16). The Blue Jays go with Drew Hutchison (5.12 ERA), who has had some rocky outings away from home with an 8.03 ERA in five road starts. Toronto is 3-7 when Hutchison starts on the road, plus 1-4 when he's a road favorite. The Twins have won six of seven to draw within a half-game of first-place Kansas City in the AL Central Division. They have an American League-best record of 19-7 this month, plus the Twins are 19-7 as an underdog. The Blue Jays are 19-39 away against a right-handed starter and face red hot righty Ricky Nolasco (5-1), who has won all five of his starts since missing 3 1/2 weeks with an ailing elbow. He is coming off a season-high 7 2/3 innings versus Boston on Monday in which he yielded two runs on seven hits. The Twins are 21-6 against a team with a losing record and 14-3 as a home underdog. Play Minnesota.
