I'll take value here with the Twins and I give them a good chance to avoid the sweep. Phil Hughes has a 2.94 ERA on the road this year and a good mix of results vs. the Orioles over his career pitching 4 quality starts in his last 6 against them. Kevin GAusman has a 4.40 ERA at home and a 5.13 ERA with a 1.59 WHIP during day starts. IN fact Baltimore has not played well during day games going 19-25 ranked 29th in ERA and 17th in OPS. The Twins oddly enough are ranked #1 in runs scored during day games 3rd in OPS and are 29-29 and just came off a game they scored 8 runs. They are scoring well over 6 runs per 9 vs. RHP over their last 10 games and they face a pitcher who is average at best.
