Kenny G said the Athletics deserve action at -105 because all of the matchup edges point their way. Oakland has won four of its last five and ranks 4th in slugging plus 12th in runs scored, production that has carried Jack Perkins to two wins in his last three starts despite the rookie’s 4.28 ERA. The Twins, meanwhile, are 10 games under .500, have lost five of six, and still have not announced a starter—an ominous sign that a bottom-10 bullpen with a 4.24 ERA could be forced into a full-game chore. Minnesota’s staff owns only 31 quality starts (27th) and the offense sits in the bottom third of every major category, scoring two, three, eight, five, zero, three and four runs its last seven outings. Kenny also noted the A’s are 31-33 on the road and 31-27-6 to the over away from the Coliseum, but he leans slightly under 9.5 and prefers the moneyline because Oakland’s lineup has consistently produced while the Twins’ has not.
