I'm not buying the Twins as a road favorite. Minnesota is 3-7 in its last 10 road contests and has been one of the biggest underachievers of the season with a 59-77 record.

The Indians, by contrast, are two games above .500. 

So is the pitching matchup that great where Minnesota should be favored? Nope.

It's rookie Bailey Ober versus Logan Allen. Ober has a 3.98 ERA. The Indians counter with Logan Allen, who is pitching his best ball. Allen has allowed just two earned runs during his past two starts spanning 12 2/3 innings. 

Allen might avoid power-hitter Miguel Sano, who is second on the Twins in homers and RBI's. Sano is questionable with a shoulder injury.
