This is a 4* play on MIN.

Houston will be the favorite with a rookie pitcher on the mound in Game 1, but I like the Twins as the underdog.

J.P. France makes just his second start in Houston, and in his home debut he allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings versus the Cubs.

The Twins hand the ball to Sonny Gray, who hasn't lost yet this season. He's 4-0 with a 1.82 ERA and a WHIP of 1.20.

The Twins are 8-2 ATS in Gray's 10 starts this season.
