Singer on the mound for KC - he has gone exactly 5.0 IP in all 4 of his starts and KC is 3-1 over those starts including last Sundays 4-2 victory over the Twins.

The Twins are similarly 3-1 over Dobnak's 4 starts.

I think the bats figure Singer out today - take the Twins to win and the game to be more than 10 total runs.

Vegas odds before the season started:

• 34.5 Wins (Tied for 3rd best with Astros behind Dodgers and Yankees)
• +800 (meaning 8 to 1 - bet $100 get $900 back - winning $800)  to win the Pennant (4th behind Yankees, Astros, and Rays)
• +1800 to win the World Series (Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, Rays, Braves, Athletics with better odds at the time)

Vegas odds as of last week:

• 40 game win pace
• +550 to win AL Pennant (2nd behind Yankees)
• +1000 to win World Series (3rd behind NYY and LAD)

Odds today:

• 37 game win pace
• +650 AL Pennant (3rd behind NYY and TB)
• +1200 World Series (4th LAD, NYY, TB)

Longer shot odds reflect the 3-3 week (3-6 overall stretch) the Twins have had since their best ever franchise start to a season.

The Twins have been a profitable bet to go under the total as they are 8-13 against the total so far (8 games over, 13 games under) and that includes 1-9 at home.

Rhu_Ru states this will be a Zoom game so look for his LTE below.

I'm much better with numbers than I am with words (except of course when it comes to profanity where I do consider myself a bit of an artist) so each Sunday as long as there is baseball you will get a Vegas betting angle on the Twins.

I lived in Vegas for 5 years before a too good to pass up tech company start up offer brought the family to Utah - but 3 months ago that company was bought by a 100% remote company (remote even before COVID) so we are actively looking to move - but while in Vegas I did spreadsheets and data analysis for a number of professional bettors and absolutely fell in love with the art that is sports betting.

Today's game:

Berrios vs Singer

The Twins #1 starter vs Royals #5 starter - time for the Twins best pitcher to get things back on track.

• Twins -161 means you would get paid $100 for every $161 you bet on the Twins to win today
• Royals +148 means you would get paid $148 for every $100 you bet on the Royals to win today
• Total = 9  (add the score of both teams - is it OVER 9 or UNDER 9)

My money today is on the Twins to win and cover the -1.5 run line. I'm going to stay away from betting on the total.

Twins have seen 6 games go over the Vegas total and 9 go under the total so far this season.  They went 82 over 76 under and 7 ties against the total last year.

Vegas odds before the season started:

• 34.5 Wins (Tied for 3rd best with Astros behind Dodgers and Yankees)
• +800 (meaning 8 to 1 - bet $100 get $900 back - winning $800)  to win the Pennant (4th behind Yankees, Astros, and Rays)
• +1800 to win the World Series (Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, Rays, Braves, Athletics with better odds at the time)

Vegas odds as of today:

• 40 game win pace - 3 game losing streak not withstanding
• +550 to win AL Pennant (2nd behind Yankees)
• +1000 to win World Series (3rd behind Yankees and Dodgers)

Vegas sees the Twins as the team to beat in a weak Central division but a long shot to beat the Yankees in the postseason. Tell me if you heard that one before.........
