Major League Baseball Top Exposure May 26 - Twins
Early money line action was on the Minnesota Twins 60% at +116 as that price continued to become less attractive. Seattle had dropped -143 to -120 at some books and suggests at the onset that the sportsbooks believe the Twins are going to win here.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Jake Odorizzi (3-2, 3.17 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (0-0, 2.65)
Odorizzi's unbeaten streak reached five starts on Sunday as he settled for a no-decision against Milwaukee despite allowing just one run and five hits while registering a season-high 10 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings but he is just 1-3 with a 4.11 ERA in seven career starts against Seattle, including a no-decision on May 14.
LeBlanc seeks his first decision Saturday as he makes his fifth straight start after five appearances out of the bullpen.
This is not a situation where a play on either side is wise and we will therefore sit out on this one. It is a nationally televised MLB game on ESPN so should get some good betting activity.
