(975) MINNESOTA TWINS at (976) KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Take: (975) MINNESOTA TWINS

The Royals can’t do much wrong these days. They’re playing inspired ball, and finding ways to win even when they look dead in the water, as was the case on Tuesday evening. But no one wins ‘em all, and I think we’ve got a great shot to knock off the sizzling Royals tonight.

Phil Hughes is having a superb season for Minnesota. I figured Hughes to do somewhat better getting out of the Bronx. He was a terrible fit for Yankee Stadium, and let’s face it, the Big Apple is an absolute pressure cooker that can absolutely get the best of some players regardless of their chosen sport. But I can’t say I expected anything resembling what we’ve seen from Hughes this season. He’s a legit Top 25 pitcher right now. There’s not a thing phony about his numbers, and he’s pitching at an ace level. There’s no way I saw that coming, and I doubt there’s many who did.

Hughes rates a commanding advantage tonight as he squares off with Liam Hendriks. Hendriks is subbing for Yordano Ventura, who got scratched with a back flareup. Even a broken clock is right twice each day, so anything is possible. But Hendriks has never shown that he can get big league hitters out on a regular basis. The interesting thing with Hendriks is that he appears to have good enough stuff to be a serviceable big league commodity, either at the back end of a rotation or more likely out of the pen. But just as I believe that Hughes was mentally fried pitching in New York, it could be that it’s what’s between the ears that has stymied Hendriks.

I’m sure Hendricks would love to knock off the Twins. That’s the team that drafted him and basically just gave up on him, so there’s major motivation here. But Hughes is on a monster roll right now and the Twins appear to play with more focus when their ace is on the mound.

Whether or not this makes my personal card today is yet to be decided, as I’ll have to make an assessment once the number settles in. But Hughes has gotten me paid a few times this season, and he’s definitely in go with mode presently. If I don’t get priced out, the Twins will be on my ticket as I’m more than willing to keep firing on Hughes.

Comp MLB Pick for Wednesday, August 27, 2014: 7:05 PM EST

(971) BOSTON RED SOX VS (972) TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Take: over the total.

Reason: Your free pick for Wednesday, August 27th, 2014, comes in baseball as the Red Sox and the Blue Jays meet in Toronto. Boston has upgraded the offense and is in Toronto, a great park for hitters. The over is 11-5 in Red Sox last 16 during game 3 of a series and they go with newcomer Joe Kelly, who had a 4.26 ERA mostly in the NL -- now he has to face teams with the DH and in the AL East, a division with small parks. Kelly has allowed 7 runs his last 9 innings. He faces a powerhouse Toronto offense ranked 5th in baseball in runs scored, slugging, and batting average, plus 6th in on base percentage. The over is 8-2 in the Red Sox's last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter and they face struggling righty Marcus Stroman, who has allowed 15 runs his last 5+ innings! The over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Toronto, so look for an offensive show. Play the Red Sox/Blue Jays Over the total.

Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies

1* Bonus Play on the Washington Nationals

The visiting Nats will send Doug Fister (12-4, 2.38 ERA) to toe the rubber; Fister is coming off a rare poor outing where he allowed four earned runs over six innings in a loss to the Giants. A date vs. Philadelphia is just what the doctor ordered to return to form though, note that the big right-hander is 2-1 while limiting the Phillies to just four earned runs and 13 hits over 22 innings in three career starts. Philadelphia counters with Kyle Kendrick (6-11, 4.93 ERA), who allowed three runs in the first inning but settled down to defeat the Cardinals on Friday, allowing four runs over 6 1/3 innings in the end; it’s important to note though that the win was his first since July 25th. The bottom line is, Kendrick has a 6.10 ERA since June 21st, worst in the National League. Additionally, Kendrick is just 5-10 with a ballooned 5.00 ERA against the Nationals, his most losses versus any team (also note that Kendrick has posted a deplorable 8.02 ERA in losing his last four matchups in the series). Despite taking the first two of this series, the Phillies are still well under .500 at home and several of the Nats’ sluggers have dominated Kendrick throughout their careers, I think the table is set for a Washington victory.

Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago White Sox

Bonus Play Cleveland Indians

The White Sox were able to score six runs and force extra innings yesterday, despite losing to Cleveland. Facing Corey Kluber tonight, I don't see things being as competitive.

Kluber, who was NOT an All-Star by the way, is having a fantastic season. The team did not win his last start, but in the eight previous he was 6-0 with a 1.31 ERA. He'd allowed a total of just two runs over five starts, which spanned 39 innings.

The White Sox were actually favored Tuesday, but obviously won't be tonight. They have lost seven in a row and are facing one of the best pitchers in the American League. Kluber has a 2.95 ERA vs Chicago this season.

Meanwhile, White Sox starter Hector Noesi has allowed 9 runs in his last two starts, bad enough for a 6.75 ERA.

Cleveland is 23-10 vs. Chicago the last two seasons. 1* Free Pick.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Diego Padres

Fee Play Milwaukee Brewers

I'm backing the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night. Yovani Gallardo has been terrific on the road this season, including his last three, where he's allowed just 2 earned runs and 18 base runners in 22 innings of work. It's a distinct pitching advantage for the road team with Odrisamer Despaigne going for the Padres. The right-hander pitched well on August 12, but the four surrounding starts (2 previous and 2 since) have not gone well, getting tagged for 18 earned runs and 34 base runners in 20 1/3 IP. Despaigne will face a Milwaukee lineup averaging 5.5 rpg in their last six road contests. The Brewers are on a 20-6 run when Gallardo starts on the road against teams with a losing record, while the Friars have dropped five straight when Despaigne toes the rubber against teams with a winning mark. We'll back the Brewers on Wednesday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

New York Yankees w/Greene

Edges - Yankees: Greene 6-0 at night, and 4-0 with 2.63 ERA away, and 4-0 as a dog, and 3-0 versus A.L. Central foes in his MLB career team starts. With Tigers? southpaw David Price just 1-3 his last four overall team starts versus the Pinstripes, we recommend a 1-unit play on the Yankees in this pivotal ESPN clash.
