The set-up: Two struggling pitchers collide in this one and runs are going to be plentiful in my estimation. The visitors go with Stephen Gonslaves, while the home side goes with Heath Fillmyer.
The teams: Gonslaves is so far 0-2 with an 11.68 ERA. He remains in the rotation out of necessity. He struggled with command issues in Triple-A as well, so if he doesn't show marked improvement here the rookie will almost assuredly be shipped back to the minors shortly.
Fillmyer is so far 2-1 with a 4.75 ERA. He comes in off a poor outing against these very Twins last Friday. The rookie has been hit-or-miss this year, the sample size simply too small at this point to get a completely accurate read.
The pick: These rookies are going to be on a tight leash, which will in turn tax these already burnt out bullpens. This one has high-scoring "slug-fest" written all over it. Play the "over."
