1. Minnesota -1.5 runs -120 3 units with Santana conditional
Real nice line here. Tons of value with a pitcher that has been on a nice roll like Santana. After losing 3 out of his first 4 decisions of the season, he has REALLY come on strong and has been extremely consistent. His only loss since the first three was against a tough Detroit ballclub, ON THE ROAD, that saw him pitch 8 solid innings of 4 hit ball and only giving up 2 earned runs while striking out 12. He has won 5 straight decisions and the team has won his last 9 starts in a row. Santana's record for the year is 9-4 with a 2.76 era. However the teams record during his starts is 14-4!! He was beat up a bit in his last start, but his 6 previous starts before that one saw him only give up 5 runs total in all of those games!! He never gave up more than 1 earned run in those 6 starts. In his 2 previous starts against TEXAS, he was solid. He only gave up 1 earned run in both of those starts. In Santana's previous 65 starts, the team has gone 53-15!!
I am a little worried that Minny has lost 3 of their last 4 games, but they sure were on a great run before that! They had won 11 games in a row and 19 out of 20 games! In those 19 games, only TWO games were decided by 1 run!
Texas is 4-9 in their last 13 games.
Obviously, there are some nice trends for a Minnesota play here. The trends below are not reflective of the Minnesota win yesterday.
