Point Spread: 1.50 | -119.00 NY Mets (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 1.50 | -119.00 NY Mets (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: In a contest which I see being decided late or even in extra frames, I'm going to lay the "pick em" price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. New York held on for a 3-2 win last night and I believe it'll carry that momentum over here. The visitors go with Jason Vargas on the hill, while the home side goes with Martin Perez.
The pitchers: Vargas (3-5, 4.23 ERA) is 8-4 with a 3.80 ERA in 20 career games vs. Minnesota.
Perez (8-3, 4.26) most recently gave up four runs off seven hits over six innings in a win over the Rangers in July 5th.
The pick: Note that Vargas is in fact 3-0 with a 0.78 ERA in his last four starts vs. the Twins. The Twins are sliding and I believe that regression continues. Grab the 1.5 runs.
