Twins vs Rockies Prediction

The Twins won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Rockies were better in three of the last four. I expect the Twins to respond to last night’s loss, but I am not going to bet on the winner here. I am backing the Over instead, because of the pitching matchup. Antonio Senzatela has been struggling this season; he allowed 12 runs in his last three starts, and I am sure the Twins will score 3+ off of him early on. Zebby Matthews, on the other hand, is back from the injury list and will surely show some rust in his first mound appearance since early June. Last night we had ten combined runs, but today, I am looking for at least 12. Go with Over.
