Wednesday Bonus Play 8:10 PM MLB

(977) MINNESOTA TWINS at (978) KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Take: (977) MINNESOTA TWINS +140

At the outset, let’s be clear that there’s risk here as Phil Hughes has tailed off considerably of late for the Twins. But even though his overall performances have declined, it’s important to note that he’s still not getting burned by the gopher ball, which was a true waterloo for Hughes when he was wearing pinstripes. He’s also still maintaining good control, so he isn’t beating himself with walks. In fact, while the eye test says Hughes hasn’t been sharp lately, there’s also been some lousy BABIP luck as a contributing factor.

Of course, even if I give more weight to the analytics and deem this as ill fortune, I still prefer to wait for the turnaround to occur before jumping in. But there’s a second side involved here called the Royals, and that’s where this play becomes more enticing to me.

No knocks on Danny Duffy, who has been outstanding for KC but just can’t catch a good break. Welcome to life on the Royals, who have given Duffy precious little run support all season. I don’t think there’s much question that the team knowing they haven’t produced for Duffy makes then press every time he takes the mound, thus the continuing issue with offense gets maintained and perhaps even intensifies. Duffy is the best 5-10 pitcher in the majors. But he’s still 5-10.

Aside from the starting pitchers, this is pretty close. The Twins have actually hit lefties well on the road, something they certainly haven’t done at Target. The Minnesota bullpen is acceptable, but is clearly second best here as the Royals have three pretty much shut down guys for the late innings.

Make no mistake, Kansas City deserves the favorite’s role here. But I can’t justify them liviing in that high rent -150 neighborhood. I made this number Royals -125, so it appears to me as though there’s considerable value on the underdog side. I’ll select the Twins here, and remember to check my Twitter feed during the day to see if this makes my final card.

MLB Comp Pick for Wednesday, July 30, 2014: 3:45 PM ET

MLB (957) PITTSBURGH PIRATES VS (958) SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Take: (957) PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Reason: Your free pick for Wednesday, July 30, 2014, comes in the National League as Pittsburgh and the Giants meet in San Francisco. Pittsburgh has vastly upgraded the offense since last year, 13th in baseball in runs scored, third in on base percentage. Charlie Morton (3.40 ERA) has excellent stuff with opponents hitting .234 off him, with the team 2-1 his last three starts, plus the team has a winning record his last 10 starts. Pittsburgh is 15-6 in their last 21 vs. the National League West. Morton had his best start of the year against the Giants, 8 shutout innings. The Pirates are 14-6 in their last 20 games vs. a right-handed starter and face Tim Lincecum (9-7). Lincecum had a rough night facing the Dodgers on Friday as he gave up six runs on nine hits over 4.1 innings while taking the loss. He is 0-1 against the Pirates this season with a 9.00 ERA giving up 8 hits in 4 innings. San Fran has plenty of offensive trouble, 19th in runs scored and slugging, 25th in on base percentage. The Giants are 7-19 in their last 26 home games, plus 5-16 in their last 21 vs. a team with a winning record. Play the Pirates.

New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers

1* Bonus Play on the New York Yankees -140

New York will sends its most consistent pitcher to the mound in Hiroki Kuroda (7-6, 3.99 ERA); Kuroda wasn’t his sharpest in his last outing but did pick up a win over Toronto Friday, allowing four runs in six innings of work. Note that Kuroda is 2-2 in 38 2/3’s innings pitched against Texas with a very strong 2.08 ERA. The Japanese born pitcher went seven strong allowing just six hits and no runs to earn a win in his last start versus the Rangers earlier. Texas will counter with Colby Lewis (6-8, 6.23); the right-hander has been struggling this season and a matchup with the Yankees isn’t what the doctor ordered as Lewis is 0-3 with an ERA of 6.14 against the Pinstripes life time. Lewis has struggled in Texas, he’s just 1-5 with an ugly ERA of 8.40 this season. Note that Texas is just 20-33 at home this year, while the Yankees are 7-2 as a road favorite in the -125 to -145 range. Consider a second look at the YANKEES.

Seattle Mariners vs. Cleveland Indians

Bonus Play Cleveland Indians -107

I'm recommending a play on the Indians on Wednesday evening. Big battle on the mound...at least on paper, but as dominant as Felix Hernandez has been over the years, he has not enjoyed his starts of late in Cleveland. Hernandez has been tagged for 13 earned runs and 32 base runners in his last three starts at this venue, spanning 14 2/3 IP. Cleveland will send Corey Kluber to the mound looking for his 7th strong start in his last 8 trips to the bump. The Indians enter on a 9-2 run when Kluber is on the mound and coming off a quality start in his last outing. We look for his momentum to continue and for the Indians to extend their run to 5-1 in their last 6 at home against Felix Hernandez. I'm recommending a play on the Indians in just their second home game since the all-star break. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
