Oakland Athletics over Minnesota Twins: Oak has won 4 in a row. Both these teams rely heavily on the long ball to produce runs. I will rate the offenses equal. I will also rate the bullpens equal although Treinen is expected back for the A’s tonight which will help. I will give Oak a small adv in starting pitching throw in home field and we have excellent value. Fiers is in excellent form he has a 225 BAA and his under the hood numbers are even better than the surface stats. This is a very good home park for him to pitch in. Fiers does not strike out many and depends on his defense. Gibson is also pitching well however his form has been off and he is less reliable than Fiers. I have this game at 1.14 giving us excellent value.
