On Thursday as the minnesota twins host the Royals in the ending of a three-game series, the Minnesota Twins are liked in MLB betting.

The Minnesota Twins try for their seventh consecutive victory at home and a three-game sweep of the American League Central competitor Royals this evening in the series ending from Target Field.

The game in baseball betting is expected to feature Bruce Chen going for the Royals vs Minnesota’s Scott Baker.

Scott Baker has done fine at Target Field. He has always pitched fine vs the Royals regardless of the location. Baker permitted 4 runs over 7 1-3 innings in a 5-4, 11-inning victory at Oakland on Friday.

MLB gambling odds like the Minnesota Twins much of the time in their new home. Target Field has been great to the Minnesota Twins as so far the Minnesota Twins have been only as great at their new lineup when they were in the Metrodome. On Thursday, Scott Baker is expected to get the start. He’s 5-4 on the season with a 4.52 ERA. He went 7 1/3 innings last time out vs Oakland and allowed 4 runs on 6 hits and had three strikeouts. The last time he pitched vs Kansas City he allowed only two runs and seven hits. Baker has been greater at home this season than traveling. His home ERA is 3.49 ERA while his road ERA is 5.66.

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Jason Kubel is 4 for 7 with three RBIs in this series and rookie third baseman Danny Valencia is 4 for 8.

Chen is 2- on the season with a 2.95 ERA. He has been playing for the hurt Gil Meche and doing quite well. In his two starts he’s 1- with 3.00 ERA. Past time out he went five innings and permitted only two earned runs on 4 hits. The experienced left-hander has made 10 relief performances to go with his only career start vs the Minnesota Twins in 2004. He has a 5.75 ERA vs Minnesota.

Kansas City has not had a lot of success over the years vs Minnesota against the MLB betting odds. Before this series began they had lost 15 of the last 20 vs the Minnesota Twins. The teams played two series in April, one in Minnesota and one in Kansas City. Of the 6 matches, the Minnesota Twins won 4. 5 of those 6 matches went over the total in MLB betting.

In baseball betting, the Royals haven’t been quite great at home or on the road. They in fact have a little more value on the road since their prices are higher. The Royals have lost 8 out of 11 total and 4 consecutive on the road. Kansas City is below average in hitting and in pitching so it is challenging to take them in spite of their big prices.

Minnesota has been quite great at home and only .500 on the road. That could be great enough though to win the American League Central. The Twins are around average in hitting however their pitching has been solid, ranking in the top 10 in the league.
