This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Minnesota Twins.
Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we absolutely feel that Twins' ace Ervin Santana could/should easily be a much larger one in this particular matchup.
James Shields: He's 2-4 with a 5.63 ERA. Shields gave up three runs off three hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Wednesday. He's looked better of late but is still 0-1 with a 5.30 ERA on the road and he also owns a poor 1.9 HR/9 over his last four trips to the hill.
Santana: He's 13-7 with a 3.24 ERA. Santana gave up two runs (only one earned) off three hits with one walk while striking out eight in an unfortunate no-decision to the White Sox throwing opposite Shields last week. Santana has regressed slightly after a blistering start to the year, but he still owns a sharp 1.24 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB over his last eight combined starts since the All-Star break.
The bottom line: Note that Chicago is just 36-55 (-2.3 units) against right-handed starters this year, while Minnesota is 49-44 (+8.2 units) against right-handed starters. We think Santana comes in focused on the task at hand. Lay the price with confidence, play on the TWINS.
