MLB Premium Play 06/21: Minnesota Twins @ Cleveland Indians

MLB - 969 Minnesota Twins @ 970 Cleveland Indians

(Starting Pitchers: S. Deduno vs S. Kazmir)

Samuel Deduno will start for Minnesota tonight and he has been surprisingly good with 2, 2, 0 and 1 runs allowed on his last four outings, while not walking more than three batters on each game! His last start was against Detroit and he was able to have a quality start against a team that had pounded him last season. He had 5 days of rest for tonight's game, so he has a good spot for tonight's game against the Indians, whose hitting has cooled off massively lately. 

Cleveland will start Scott Kazmir, who allowed five runs on 2.2 innings against the Nationals last Saturday. His last three starts were bad in almost everything: bad P/IP count, homeruns allowed on each start, walked 4, 2 and 2 batters, while being very hittable as well. Kazmir has already faced Minnesota this season and he had a nice outing, but it was on early May, when he was in good form. Minnesota's lineup is now coming from a nice home sweep where they showed good offense, with them hitting above .300 BA in all three contests. The Twins are hitting .339 BA against LH pitchers on their last 10 games and they are coming from pounding the left-handed John Danks and Chris Sale, so I'm taking Minnesota for the upset tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 969 Minnesota Twins ML (w/ S. Deduno) @ +119 / 2.19 on Betonline
