Sport: MLBPick Selection: Tigers/Twins 'under' 8 runs
At 1:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the 'under' in the Detroit/Minnesota game. Twins ace Johan Santana will get the start this afternoon, and the southpaw has dominated Tiger bats in his career, going 10-2 with a 2.58 ERA, including 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA at Detroit. And Santana has sparkled on the road this season, going 2-0 with a microscopic 0.64 ERA, and allowing just 5 hits in 14 innings. Santana's mound opponent will be Mike Maroth, who is 2-0 this year, but his ERA is a mediocre 5.06. But Maroth's career WHIP vs. the Twins is a respectable 1.39 in 17 games, and he's also gone 'under' the total in 20 of 29 starts in the first half of the season. Finally, the Twins are 59-40 'under' as a favorite, and Detroit is 43-20 'under' as an underdog. Look for a low-scoring game this afternoon. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
