Tonight's starters will be J ake Odorizzi (14-6, 3.60 ERA) and Aaron Civale (3-3, 1.93 ERA). Odorizzi was a disappointing 7-10 (4.49 ERA) in his first season with Minnesota last year (was signed as a FA away from Tampa Bay) but opened 2019 by going 9-2 with a 1.92 ERA through June 9 (team was 10-3 in his starts).

On the season, the Twins are 20-8 in his starts, giving him a plus-$1,185 moneyline mark (3rd-best in MLB). Civale is a rookie who enters just 3-3 in eight starts and has struggled with control and walks issued. He's faced the Twins twice, allowing just two runs on seven hits and three walks over 11 innings but has settled for no-decisions (team went 1-1).

The Twins have some revenge as they have just a 4 game lead on the Indians for the division and just lost back to back games to the Nationals. Lastly, the Twins have the best road record in the Majors and Odorizzi 2-0 1.61 ERA in 4 starts vs Indians this year. Finally, Minnesota is an impressive 20-6 in Odorizzi's last 26 starts overall, 9-3 in his last 12 starts vs. teams with a winning record, and 5-0 in his last five road starts.
