The Minnesota Twins, still in contention for an American League wild card berth, are $1.87 favourites to start their three-game series over the Oakland Athletics ($1.95) with a victory.
Jaime Garcia, the starting pitcher for the Twins, will be hoping to continue his good recent form. He has won his past two starts, including a strong performance at Dodger Stadium, and allowed only four earned runs in those games. In the four prior outings, Garcia had conceded 23 earned runs.
Daniel Gossett will be on the mound for the Athletics aiming to improve on his 2-5 record.
