YTD: 1-3 (25%)
Minnesota Twins -1.5 (-120)
Nick Blackburn has been two totally different pitchers at home and on the road. The contrast is like night and day. In fact, this year at the Metrodome, he is 5-0 with a 2.95 ERA. Although he lost a road game at Kansas City earlier this year, his career numbers against the Royals are impressive, as well (1-1, 2.25 ERA). That loss he suffered at KC on June 29th was before the tailspin that the Royals have been on ever since. They are 7-22 since July 7th, and have the worst record in the AL. Kyle Davies is coming off one of the worst outings of his career, and unfortunately for him he's going up against on offense that is absolutely on fire. I think this one is a blowout. Good luck to all!
