Twins -120 (5-Dime POD)
It's hard not to come and back this team once again. To me they have a nice pitching advantage and you may think I'm crazy looking at Blackburns numbers, but he's pitching at home. That's a career trend that he has enjoyed with a career ERA of 3.53 vs. his 4.98 on the road. This year it has been no different and Blackburn who has a 3.31 ERA at home is primed to have a solid start after 2 poor road starts. In his last 4 home starts vs. solid hitting teams in Yankees, Brewers, Tigers, and Orioles he is 4-0 with a 2.35 ERA. Better yet Atlanta has never faced Blackburn.

Derek Lowe goes for the Braves and he has a 6.82 ERA on the road, and he goes against one of the better hitting teams here today. The Twins average 5.58 runs per 9 vs. RHP at home and have a .288 average. IN their last 5 they are at .309 and 6.49 so you could consider them to be hot. Lowe has 5 starts against the Twins in his career between 2003 and 2006 and he's got a 8.51 ERA. The Twins have 46 AB vs. him and a .391 average.

So throw in Blackburns dominance at home, the fact that Atlanta has never seen him, and Lowes performance on the road and vs. the Twins and the Twins ability to hit RHP this year and you have the ingredients of a 5-Dime POD. Throw in how well the Twins have played in inter league play?

Twins now 57-20 in their last 77 inter league games. They are also 54-18 in their last 72 as a home favorite -110 to -150. While the Braves are just 5-16 in their last 21 as an under dog.
