TEXAS –1 –1.10 over Minnesota (Pinny)
The Twins are an ugly 3-12 away from the Metrodome and in their last three-game set on the road in Detroit they were outscored 33-1. With Brad Radke pitching here they may wish they were back in Hockey-town, USA. Radke has been batting practice for about three years now and this year he’s pitching like he can’t wait to leave the game. He’s surrendered 47 hits in 33 frames and has also given up 11 jacks over that stretch. Radke comes in with a 7.29 ERA and a 10.80 ERA on the road. The Rangers found a keeper in lefty John Koronka. Koronka is unbeaten in five starts since losing his season debut to Detroit on April 7. In his last start against the Orioles he went 8.1 innings and limited the Birds to just six hits and one run. Koronka has a rock solid 3.38 ERA at the Ballpark and it also doesn’t hurt that he Twins are 2-6 against southpaws. Can this one go any other way? We think not. Play: Texas –1 –1.10 (Risking 1.65 units to win 1.5).
