#958 ASA PLAY ON Minnesota Twins -1.5 on the Run Line (-115) over Oakland Athletics, Tuesday at 7:40 PM ET - The A's have lost 5 straight games and have scored only 2.4 runs per game in those 5 defeats.  Now the Athletics visit Minnesota to take on a Twins team off a huge win yesterday in which they scored 17 runs!  Minnesota is surging with confidence right now at the plate as they also took advantage of a recent extra-innings opportunity to score 11 runs in that high-scoring victory.  The Twins have won 7 of 10 home games and have momentum on their side here.  Oakland is 11-24 on the road and 8-24 against teams with a winning record on the season.  The Twins have feasted on facing weaker teams as Minnesota is 24-11 when facing teams that do NOT have a winning record on the season.  31 of the A's 44 losses this season by at least 2 runs and this one will be as well.  Minnesota is starting Joe Ryan here and he has a 3.30 ERA this season.  Luis Medina expected to start for Oakland here and he had a 5.42 ERA last season and is just now getting back into the rotation for Oakland this season and got rocked in his most recent start which was just his 2nd outing this season.  With consideration to all the factors above, we expect another big loss for Oakland again here.  There is a reason Minnesota is so heavily favored on the money line here and it has led to particularly solid value on the run line in this one.  Great spot to grab the solid value with the stronger team in a great spot and available at very small juice by laying the -1.5 runs!  We will take it!  Lay it!
