The Minnesota Twins snapped a two-game skid with a 6-4 win in the opener of a three-game series with Kansas City Royals Friday night. They have a significant edge on the mound tonight, and I fully expect a blowout win for the home team here.

Minnesota righty Jose Berrios (10-8, 3.56 ERA) has been dominant at home all season, entering Saturday 7-2 behind a 2.99 ERA in 12 starts at Target Field. This will be his second home start against KC on the season after holding them to one run through seven frames on July 9.

The Royals hand the ball to 28 year old right Burch Smith (1-2, 6.00 ERA) who will make his fifth start of the season. He was tagged with five runs on five hits and three walks in four innings of a 7-3 loss in the Bronx on July 29 last time out.

Twins are 18-4 in Berrios' last 22 home starts and 7-1 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

8* play on Minnesota Twins.
