Play: Point Spread: -1.5/105 Minnesota Twins
Take the Twins on the Run Line Rotation #970 Minnesota has a real run-line edge tonight because Joe Ryan’s matchup against Kansas City is one he’s consistently dominated, going 8–2 with a 2.49 ERA in his career vs. the Royals — including multiple outings where he’s completely controlled their right-heavy lineup. Ryan comes in rested after being pushed back for arm fatigue, while Kansas City counters with Randy Dobnak, who’s making just his third start and now faces a Twins lineup that knows his arsenal inside and out from his years in Minnesota. The Royals’ bullpen has been a major liability, blowing leads even when Dobnak pitches well, and their offense has slipped during a stretch where they’ve fallen 18 games under .500. Minnesota, meanwhile, has won three straight and five of six, just walked off KC last night, and carries all the momentum into a matchup where their starter, lineup familiarity, and bullpen stability give them multiple paths to separating late — ideal conditions for a run-line cover.
