Plus Gardy and the Twins are as National League as an American League team could ever be so things shouldn\u2019t be all that foreign here.<\/p>\n<p>The defending World Series champion Giants are\u00a0in first place and are a team that is dangerous thanks once again to their phenomenal pitching. Madison Bumgarner proved last season that he is a young and talented lefthander who can get the job done.\u00a0The southpaw\u00a0has been very good once again as the low 3\u2019s era proves but the Giants\u2019 offense is not good without Buster Posey and therefore the kid is an unbelievable 3-8 despite being great at times.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Bochy\u2019s club just doesn\u2019t hit the ball that much. Even with their great catcher healthy\u00a0they are somewhat offensively challenged and now without such a key cog are lacking in a big-time way. Therefore to trust this team when laying some money doesn\u2019t feel right.<\/p>\n<p>The Twins had the horrific first few months to the season. I\u2019m still not sure how this franchise lost as much as it\u00a0did in that time but the last month has been much improved and right now with Joe Mauer back to go along with Young, Cuddyer, Span and a few others the Twins are once again a quality enough club.<\/p>\n<p>Pavano has been a lights out innings eating beast of late and against such a weak lineup should be just that one more time. I\u2019m sure the pitching will be ahead of the hitting in this thing and it\u2019ll come down to that one swing of the bat or one bounce of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>3-1 Twins in the end!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information: <\/strong>Yup, that\u2019s right. Normally I like to back those undervalued pups but today I have spotted and isolated a chalk that is of tremendous\u00a0value and something that cannot be passed up on that run-line, just cannot. One play is all you need as I continue beating up on the man.
