Twins vs. Indians MLB Free Pick May 12, 2017 – Jesse Schule
This is a Free #MLB play on the Minnesota #Twins +1.5.
The Twins are tied with Cleveland at the top of the AL Central standings, and the two teams meet at Progressive Field on Friday.
Ervin Santana will toe the slab for the Twins, and he’s coming off his worst start of the season. Santana (5-1, 1.72 ERA) was torched for six runs on five hits and three walks over six innings in a home loss to Boston his last time out. He had only surrendered three runs in his previous six starts, and he’s 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA in two starts on the road this year.
The Indians hand the ball to Josh Tomlin, who is coming off his best start of the season. Tomlin (2-3, 7.12 ERA) allowed just one run on three hits over seven innings in a 3-1 win at Kansas City his last time out. The Twins have hit him hard in the past, with the current lineup batting .303 with four home runs and 13 RBIs in 109 at bats against him.
The Twins are 5-0 in their last five road games versus a right-handed starter.
Take MINNY.
