2020 GAME 42: Tigers (+168) at Twins (-183) – Total 9.0

Before I get into the Twins - I have to tell everyone - 42 minutes.  Front door to front door round trip to Costco for the bi-weekly shopping trip to feed 4 children (3 teenagers) took only 42 minutes.

Odds last Sunday:

  • 35.3 win pace
  • +700 AL Pennant (4th behind NYY, TB,  OAK)
  • +1400 World Series (5th LAD, NYY, TB, OAK)

Odds Today:

  • 36.6 win pace
  • +1000 AL Pennant (7th behind NYY, TB, OAK, CHW, HOU, CLE)
  • +1800 World Series (11th - behind AL teams above plus LAD, SD, ATL,  CHC)

Even after a 5-2 week and a 5 game winning streak - the Twins see their postseason odds at a nadir. I think the odds are bit lagging but it is concerning to see for the first time the Twins with longer odds than both Chicago and Cleveland.

Today - Rich Hill vs Casey Mize.  For the second straight Sunday the Tigers put Mize on the Mound against the Twins who gave up 2 runs over 3 innings last Sunday as the Tigers completed a sweep of the Twins.

The Twins have gone under the total on every game this winning streak and have only gone over 3 out of 20 home games this season.

Take the Twins to win - and for the game to stay under.

    1. I missed it, what happened? Based on what I saw when I came back to the room, I'm guessing he misplayed a fly ball that put a runner on third?

  1. Apparently Larry David's shenanigans didn't cost Funkhouser his baseball career after all

  2. Thank you to whoever added the image for me.

    I've spent this entire game trying to install an art tablet for my daughter and after 2.5 arduous hours finally got it working for her.

    Luckily the Twins are playing as frustratingly as installing tablet drivers was - so I got that going for me.
