The Twins offense has scored 278 runs with a .253 batting average and a .326 on base percentage. Jorge Polanco is batting .245 with seven home runs and 33 RBI’s for the Twins this season. The projected starter for Minnesota Chris Archer, who is 1-2 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over 44.1 innings pitched this season.

Minnesota is 5-1 in their last 6 Monday games and 1-4 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. The over is 9-3-1 in Minnesota’s last 13 road games. Seattle is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the AL Central and 5-1 in their last 6 game one’s of a series. The under is 5-1 in Seattle’s last 6 home games. The over is 4-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings in Seattle.
Minnesota comes into this matchup after a big series win against a very good Tampa Bay team, while Seattle has played .500 ball over their last few games. Chris Archer is on the mound for Minnesota and he has pitched well this season, but does has only pitched more than four innings a couple of times. For Seattle, Flexen has allowed six runs over his last 18.2 innings. This should be a good pitching matchup and I like the under in this game.
