Total: 8.00 | 101.00 Under
Result: Push
The Phillies are the No. 1 scoring team in the Majors averging 8.1 runs per game. They have scored at least eight runs in all but one of their six games.
The Twins are averaging 6.2 runs during their last four games. The Over has cashed in 10 of Minnesota's past 14 road contests.
A starting pitching matchup of Michael Pineda versus Jake Arrieta isn't going to cool of these hot offenses, especially in a great hitter's park and with each team lacking an estabished closer.
Pineda is making just his second appearance since returning from Tommy John surgery. Prior to going four innings against the Indians last Sunday, Pineda hadn't pitched since July 5, 2017. Pineda isn't likely to pitch deep into the game even if he's on. That means the Twins' shaky bullpen has to pitch multiple innings.
Arrieta is 33 and has been slipping the past couple of seasons. He's gone from an ace to a third-to-fourth type rotation starter.
