Minnesota Twins (73-61) vs Toronto Blue Jays (65-71)
Sunday, September 01, 2024 at 2:10 pm
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Twins suffered their worst loss of the season last night, falling behind the Blue Jays 11-0 by the third inning and going on to an embarrassing 15-0 defeat. They will regroup at home this afternoon in an attempt to take this series with Toronto before heading to Tampa next week. Bailey Ober will go to the mound today for his 26th start of the season. Like his team coming off one of their worst losses, the 28-year-old RH comes into this afternoon off of one of the worst outings of his professional career, as Ober allowed nine runs in two innings to the Braves last Monday. But going into that game, Ober had been on quite a roll, throwing quality starts in 11 straight outings going back to his June 16 victory over the A's here at Target Field. In four career starts vs. the Jays, Ober is 2-2 with a 3.05 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and only three walks in just under 21 innings. Take the Twins. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
