Best Bets – OVER 7.5

Best DFS Picks – Joe Mauer, Danny Santana, Kenny Vargas, Trevor Plouffe

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Corey Kluber (0-1, 2.63 ERA) vs. Twins RH Mike Pelfrey (0-0, 7.20)

Betting Line – Twins +155, Indians -169

Kluber has had difficulties against a number of Minnesota hitters and this bodes well for both the OVER and for daily fantasy players.  His ERA against them is 4.01.

Joe Mauer (Minnesota) – Joe Mauer knocked in three runs in Thursday's win over the Royals.  He is 6 of 24 against Corey Kluber with 1 home run and 3 RBIs.  He’s priced at $3300.

Danny Santana (Minnesota) – Danny Santana went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.  He has gone 4-for-11 versus Kluber. 

Kenny Vargas (Minnesota) – Kennys Vargas went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a win over the Royals on Thursday.  Priced at $2500, he is 4-for-11 against Kluber with 2 RBIs. 

Trevor Plouffe (Minnesota) - is 9-for-25 with two home runs and seven RBIs against Kluber

It is almost tempting to take Minnesota at +155 especially with Pelfrey registering a 2.86 ERA and holding the Indians to a .171 batting average while going 1-1 in four outings.  But betting on Pelfrey we do not see as a wise option.

The OVER is 21-5-1 in Minnesota’s last 27 home games.
