OAK: Loaiza (0-1, 9.64 ERA)
MIN: Silva (0-1, 7.94 ERA)
Oddsmakers don't give the Twins much of a chance Wednesday, opening them as underdogs when they host Oakland at The Metrodome.
Sitting atop the American League West with a 5-3 mark, Oakland tabs Esteban Loaiza for the job of maintaining that spot. Loaiza brings a 0-1 record and a 9.64 ERA into this game.
The Twins send Carlos Silva, 0-1, 7.94 ERA, to the mound.
Oakland brings a 5-3 overall mark (3-1 in the division) into this game versus a Minnesota team carrying a 2-5 record.
Oddsmakers like the Athletics in this one, opening the line at 110 in their favor. They are 5-3 this season, while the Twins are 2-5. The total, which is 4-2-1 to the OVER in Twins games and 4-4-0 in Athletics games, was set at 9.
Last time out, at The Metrodome against Minnesota, the Athletics as favorites lost to the Twins 7-6. That game was an over play.
Oakland's hitting hasn't been much to write home about, as they are averaging just 7.8 hits per game, ranked #13 in the American League.
Some trends to consider:
Oakland is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games away against Minnesota
Oakland is 5-10-1 OU in its last 16 games
Oakland is 4-8-0 OU in its last 12 away
Oakland is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Minnesota
Minnesota is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Minnesota is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Oakland
Minnesota is 2-5-0 SU in its last 7 games after scoring 7 to 9 runs
Minnesota is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games at home against Oakland
