Twins rookie Anthony Swarzak has been quite impressive in two starts since being called up, tossing 7 scoreless innings in his debut vs. Milwaukee and then coming back vs. the tough Red Sox lineup to allow a reasonable 9 baserunners and 3 earned runs thru 6 innings of work. Certainly looks like he can handle himself at this level.
The Twins are 20-11 at home, facing the Indians who are 10-18 on the road. In no way has Swarzak been bad enough to make the Twins a home underdog vs. the Indians here, especially when Tribe starter Cliff Lee has been struggling on the road this year (4.50 era and 1.59 whip).
Good value on the Twins today, IMO.
