MLB San Diego Padres +100 (List Home) over Colorado Rockies

7-Unit Play. Take #924 Minnesota -132 over Oakland (Tuesday, May 2 at 8:10 PM ET)
Oak: S. Gray (0-0, - ERA)
Min: E. Santana (4-0, 0.77 ERA)
Take Minnesota on the moneyline as my 7-Unit MLB Smash for Tuesday night. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I feel we are getting great value with the Twins at this low price tonight. Santana has pitched lights out this season allowing just 13 hits over 35 innings leaving him with an ERA of just 0.77 and a WHIP of 0.66. Those 5 starts were against good teams and now he faces an Oakland team he has owned in the past with an ERA of just 2.04 over 29 starts against them. The Athletics have hit just .218 as a team lifetime against Santana with an OBP of just .261 and slugging percentage of just .323. Opponents have hit just .116 against Santana this season with an OBP of .189, and I expect another quality start from him tonight against an Athletics team hitting just .217 on the road this season, and just .191 over their last 7 games while averaging just 2.3 rpg. This is Gray's 1st start of the season after a brutal 2016 season and the Athletics are 0-2 in his last 2 starts against the Twins which happened to be against Santana losing those games by a combined score of 9-0. The Athletics are 1-6 in Gray's last 7 road starts and just 7-22 in their last 29 games in Game 1 of a series. The Athletics are just 1-6 in their last 7 road games overall just 1-4 in their last 5 games played at Minnesota. Play Minnesota ML with confidence.
