MONEYLINE: Minnesota Twins -130
WIN for +3.85 unit(s)

Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins

5 Unit Play Take #974 Minnesota Twins over Detroit Tigers (4:10p.m.) The Twins with a good effort to comeback last night, but all it amounted too was a moral victory.  It was a game that ended past midnight and lasted 16-innings with the tigers prevailing 11-9.  I am expecting the twins to bounce back in this spot behind Francisco Liriano.  He has been trying to reclaim the magic of seasons past.  Liriano delivered his best start of the season in St. Louis last out when he held the Cardinals to two runs on four hits in seven innings.  He is 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA in eight career appearances vs. Detroit.  The Tigers Edwin Jackson hasn’t won in his last four starts.  Detroit’s inability to score runs when he is on the mound looms big here.  This is a most important game for the Twins.  A big plus tonight is the fact that Anthony Swarzak was recalled overnight to replace Slowey who was put on the DL.  He will be first in relief if Liriano needs help. The Twins are our Game of the Week.

Seattle Mariners @ Chicago White Sox Thursday July 29, 2010 8:10 pm
3 Unit Play Take 922 Chicago White Sox vs. Seattle (8 pm ET) Seattle showed a bit of a spark last night, but it wasn't enough. They have lost the first three games of this series, and far more games than they have won overall recently. They are not in a good place. The White Sox ... read more

Florida Marlins @ San Francisco Giants Thursday July 29, 2010 3:45 pm
3 Unit Play Take 908 San Francisco vs. Florida (3:45 pm ET) The Giants' bullpen let us down in a big way yesterday, but I'm ready to give them a chance to redeem themselves here. Despite the collapse I still like the Giants more than the Marlins in all of the same ways as I did. ... read more

Atlanta Braves @ Washington Nationals Tuesday July 27, 2010 7:05 pm
3 Unit Play Take 903 Atlanta at Washington (7 pm ET) This is a battle of this year's phenom against last year's. Tommy Hanson was truly special last year for the Braves, and he has been pretty good again this year. He is pitching solidly recently and can be trusted. Stephen Strasburg ... read more

Florida Marlins @ San Francisco Giants Monday July 26, 2010 10:15 pm
5 Unit Play Take 958 San Francisco vs. Florida (10 pm ET) The Giants are playing fantastic baseball - they return home after winning six of seven division road games. That one loss was started by Barry Zito - today's starter - but he was very strong in the loss and just didn't ... read more

Cincinnati Reds @ Houston Astros Sunday July 25, 2010 2:05 pm
3 Unit Play Take 907 Cincinnati at Houston (2 pm ET) The Reds are looking to finish off the sweep in this series, and I am confident that they can pull it off. The young Mike Leake starts for the Reds. He was very good in his last start, and has been solid on the road all year. ... read more

Minnesota Twins @ Baltimore Orioles Saturday July 24, 2010 7:05 pm
3 Unit Play Take 971 Minnesota at Baltimore (7 pm ET) The Orioles have won just twice in their current eight game home stand, so home field is hardly an advantage for them. They send out Brian Matusz to start, and that's not a reason to be confident. The young guy has talent, but ... read more

New York Mets @ Los Angeles Dodgers Friday July 23, 2010 10:10 pm
If I was setting the odds here I would have the Mets as quite solid favorites. The Mets are playing lousy baseball right now, but outside of their last two wins the Dodgers aren't exactly tearing things up either. What I really like here is the play of Johan Santana recently. He ... read more

Chicago White Sox @ Oakland Athletics Friday July 23, 2010 10:05 pm
3 Unit Play Take 927 White Sox at Oakland (10 pm ET) Oakland is playing well recently, but the White Sox should be favored here. Chicago is starting Mark Buehrle. He has found his form recently - he's going deep, not giving up a lot of runs, and limiting walks. He's comfortable ... read more

San Diego Padres @ Pittsburgh Pirates Friday July 23, 2010 7:05 pm
5 Unit Play Take 905 San Diego at Pittsburgh (7 pm ET) Both of these teams come into this game off a win, and both were playing pretty well before that. I'll back the class every time, though, and the class here is definitely San Diego. They are a solid road team - 25-20 - and ... read more

5 Unit Play Take 961 San Francisco at Arizona (9:30 pm ET) The Giants have won seven of nine and are in very good form. Finally. Arizona is just coming off an unexpected sweep of the Mets, but that doesn't indicate how they have generally been playing recently. Matt Cain starts ... read more
