The AL Central is a weak division and the Twins are the weakest team in that division. Minnesota has been bad and disappointing all season. Now the Twins are worse given their rebuilding moves at the trade deadline. Team morale had to suffer when team ace Jose Berrios was dealt.
I've been looking to fade the Twins. I successfully did in Friday's game when Griffin Jax took Berrios' spot. I passed on Saturday's matchup because I didn't trust Cardinals starter Jake Woodford. The Twins bashed Woodford in winning, 8-1.
But now the Cardinals are back on safe ground pitching Adam Wainwright. The 39-year-old still is solid with a 3.51 ERA. Wainwright has a 2.70 ERA at home this season. His last start was five days ago on the road against the Indians. Wainwright beat the Indians, holding them to two runs in seven innings giving up four hits, walking two and striking out eight.
Twins starter Michael Pineda has a 4.42 road ERA. He's backed by a bad bullpen. The Twins are 20-31 on the road.
