I'm expecting a 4-3 type of game. So is the oddsmaker with the total lined at 7.

The Twins would be 9-3 in their last 12 games if given 1 1/2 runs per game.

Southpaw James Paxton is pitching great for Seattle. Paxton, though, has been good but not dominant in four home starts with a 3.04 ERA. He'll have to deal with the Twins' best powr hitter as Miguel Sano is expected to play after missing the past 24 games with a hamstring injury. Minnesota has a winning record this season versus lefty starters, too.

Twins starter Fernando Romero is living up to his hype as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. The rookie has pitched extremely well in three of his four big league starts. He is 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA. The Mariners have never faced him.

The Mariners' offense is down minus injured Dee Gordon and Robinson Cano.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover has one of his top Friday cards of the season going today with his Baseball Total of the Month and his NBA Friday Spread Crusher. Stephen is going for his fifth straight NBA winner and is 19-7-1 on his last 27 NBA plays for 73 percent! All of Stephen's plays come guaranteed to win.)
