Minnesota took Thursday’s series opener, and the Twins are the clear favorite Friday. They just aren’t a value as a betting choice at the price. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The best side for this contest is the MINNESOTA -1.5 (-120) play. Peg the Twins as the slightly better (and much better rested) bullpen.
Over/Under (O/U)
Maeda’s confidence and a pitcher’s breeze make for a lean on the UNDER 9 (+100).
