08-19-08 MLB FREE PICK

Posted by on 19-08-2008

The Minnesota Twins (70-54) are coming off of a rare 3-2 home loss to the Oakland Athletics. I don’t expect Oakland to pull out to victories in a row here in this spot. The Athletics are 6-25 overall and 6-20 on the road. Oakland will be sending Shaun Gallagher (4-5, 4.50 ERA) to take on Kevin Slowely (9-8, 3.94) of Minnesota. Gallagher has really struggled as of late with an ERA of 7.50. Over Gallagher last 10 starts his respected team has gone 1-9. Conversely, The Twins have won eight of the last 10 games that Slowely has started. The wins are also in the thick of things in the American league Central division trailing the Chicago White Sox (71-53). The Twins are 13-1 when they have an on base percentage of .393 or higher over the last three games. The Twins bats should be able to put some runs up on the board against Gallagher. Take the Twins-1 ½.
