Total: 7.00 | 105.00 Under
Result: Win

Rating: 10*

The Minnesota Twins opened a three-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays at the Trop with a 6-2 win Friday night. Minnesota has been very productive at the plate lately, and I think we'll see Saturday's contest fly over the total.

Chris Archer (5-15, 4.38) takes the ball for Tampa Bay. He's posted a 1.78 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in previous meetings with the Twins, but the Rays' ace is having a really poor season (by his standards). The Rays' will be in trouble if Minnesota can get to Archer early as their bullpen has been used a fair amount lately, and their relievers gave up five runs and six hits in their 3 2/3 innings last night.

The Twins turn to Jose Berrios (2-1, 8.57 ERA) who'll make his sixth appearance in the big leagues. He's been knocked around pretty bad in virtually each of his previous outings and a 1.76 WHIP with a .298 batting average against does not impress.

Over is 7-0 in the last seven meetings in Tampa Bay, over is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings. This total looks pretty low considering the pitching matchup.
