Some alarming developments for the Halos, who have only won one series thus far (a three-game sweep in Miami) and are only 7-15 in games not involving the lowly Marlins. Baserunning snafus continue to haunt Ron Washington (Jo Adell thrown at trying to steal to end the Wednesday loss to the O's), not to mention patience running thin with starter Patrick Sandoval, whose inconsistencies (as well as his 6.75 ERA) remain hard to ignore. Meanwhile, big Bailey Ober has been sharp on the mound for the Twins ever since getting hammered in the opener by the Royals, with a 1.06 ERA and 0.65 WHIP in three subsequent starts. Minnesota also finally has momentum after a 4-game sweep of the Chisox. Play Twins on Money Line
The LA Angels find themselves as slight home favorite tonight against the Minnesota Twins. The pitching matchup features a struggling Patrick Sandoval versus Bailey Ober who has been sharp his last three outings. For the Twins the travel factor from yesterday’s series is something to be leery of here. Additionally, Miguel Sano will get a chance for revenge on his former team of eight years.
My good buddy and MLB expert expert A-Mags turned me on to this spot and it certainly appears to be a good looking spot to back Bailey Ober who has eclipsed this line in two consecutive starts. He gets another favorable matchup against an Angels lineup that is below average and ranks 19th in OPS. I like Ober's chances of starting the 6th inning today.
Bailey "Over" Ober has cashed some tickets for us already this year with his outs prop and we're going to keep riding the hot hand. He's gone six full innings in back to back starts (both vs the Tigers FWIW) and at 15.5 outs, I have to back him again here. The Angels are starting to look like a solid matchup for pitchers again this year and Minnesota got just nine innings combined from Tuesday and Thursday's starters, leaving a lot of work to the bullpen. The Twins are in the midst of 31 games in 33 days, and could use any help to save the bullpen they can get. Their top 2-3 relievers have been used a good bit the last few games too.
