Free MLB Pick: Oakland Athletics -150 (Jeff Alexander)
Tough spot for the Indians traveling west to play their 4th road game in as many days, especially with Westbrook on the mound. The Tribe is 0-2 in his road starts this season, during which he has posted an ERA of 7.45 and a WHIP of 2.172. Those are downright ugly numbers. Meanwhile, Justin Duchscherer has been brilliant for the A’s. They are 3-0 in his starts this season, during which he has posted an EAR of 2.41 and a WHIP of 1.178. The Indians are 0-7 in Westbrook’s last 7 starts as a road underdog while the Athletics are 9-4 in Duchscherer’s last 13 home starts. Plus, the Indians are 7-22 in the last 29 meetings in Oakland and 0-5 in the last 5 meetings overall. Take the A’s.

Free MLB Pick: Minnesota Twins -137 (Jimmy Boyd)
We’ll fade the Royals’ Gil Meche tonight. The Royals have lost both of his starts this season while watching him post an 11.58 ERA and a WHIP of 2.358. The Royals are 0-4 in Meche’s last 4 home starts, 0-4 in his last 4 starts as an underdog and 1-8 in his last 9 starts as a home underdog of +110 to +150. Carl Pavano has been much better for the Twins. The Twins are 7-3 in Pavano’s last 10 starts and 6-2 in his last 8 road starts. Plus, the Twins have dominated their division rival, winning 10 of the last 12 meetings overall and 16 of the last 21 in Kansas City. It is also worth noting that the Twins are 28-11 in their last 39 games vs. a right-handed starter, 25-10 in their last 35 games as a favorite, 18-5 in their last 23 vs. a team with a losing record and 17-5 in their last 22 during game 1 of a series. We’ll bet the Twins tonight.
