While I lost with the Twins yesterday, I like their chances of bouncing back this evening. Though he's really struggled on the road, Happ has quietly been pretty respectable at home. He's 4-1 with a 4.25 ERA and 1.274 WHIP in nine starts here. The Twins won six of those. Last time here, he allowed three runs through seven innings, striking out eight against one walk. In his previous start here, he allowed two runs through six innings, striking out seven without walking a batter. The Twins won both of those games. In fact, they're 5-0 in Happ's last five home starts. Though he's pitched well of late, Cobb still has an ugly 6.37 ERA through seven road starts. Remember, LA remains without Trout and Rendon. As of this writing, the O/U for this game is 10. That's noteworthy as the Angels are 8-15 the past 23 times that they played a road game with an O/U line of eight or 8.5. During that span, the Twins are 22-11 when playing a home game with an O/U line of 10 or 10.5. If you're looking for a live dog on Friday, consider Minnesota.
