Action v. Wojciechowski
Yanks mashed 5 home runs in the series opener last night and most likely putting together a bullpen game tonight with Jonathan Holder starting it off after a stint back in AAA. Carlos Torres is behind the plate tonight, and while already being a boon for the road team in any game he umpires, he also is the best Over bet going in today's crews. He has also umpired the Yankees on the road 3 times already this season and in all 3 the Yanks won on the road and covering the run line each time winning by 4 and 4 and 2 all over division rivals as well in Boston, Toronto, and Baltimore.
Asher had shut down teams twice in a row in 2 starts and faltered a good bit in his last outing...and now is rewarded with the Yankees mash unit! Good chance LeMahieu is back at 1st and basically the lineup from 1 through 9 can take this man deep each and every time to the plate...looking to extend the Camden Yards barrage to 14 straight games in this rivalry when the O's are in their friendly confines. - Game: (977) Atlanta Braves at (978) Minnesota Twins

Foltynewicz v. Berrios
So Folty couldn't stop giving up bombs...they sent him down and he was miraculously cured by the International League and he gets to make his first start in 6 weeks...on the road...against the team with the MLB HR lead...by a LARGE margin...and even more HR at home facing LHP than the Rockies at Coors!
Snitker had seen enough of Gauman after 3 starts back from the AAA stint and sure makes ya wonder if this is a coincidence that unfortunate for Folty or if he is being massively set up for failure!
Berrios is solid and has even gotten a smidge better the last month than he was even prior...and should be able to skate by the Braves lineup on the road tonight as he has struck out more hitters, allowed less HR, and improved his LOB% all since the start of July compared to the previous 3 months. The Twinkies lineup will feature 3 left handed hitters facing the Braves hopefully resurgent starter, but only Max Kepler as the leadoff hitter presents even the slightest bit of a liability in this instance...as both Eddie Rosario and Luis Arraez will not be platooned for a reason, the former even with a better wOBA than facing RHP...especially at home.
For the hot hitting Twins to lay such a miniscule amount on the first 5 to be ahead by a run or more is the VALUE of the day. This bet is in large amounts due to not buying this is AT ALL the spot to let Folty make his return...and if he isn't being set up to fail by Brian Snitker then he is outsmarting the room and that includes us on the play tonight!
