Minnesota has only won eight games this year, and now they must face HENDERSON ALVAREZ who just threw a complete game 6-hit shutout @ LAA. In fact, Alvarez as just allowed 3 runs in his L22 IP (3 starts) and seems to be getting stronger, allowing just 1 run in his L15 IP. Amazingly, for a 22-year old kid, he has great control, throwing 71 strikes out of 97 pitches in his last game. TORONTO is (25-7) in their L32 meetings with the Twins and (12-2) in their L14 games @ Minnesota. The Twins have just won 3 of their L16 games, overall. Jason Marquis comes off a 7-0 loss @ Seattle on Saturday in which he walked six batters .. go with the Jays one more time. Both the GAME and FIRST FIVE INNINGS are Toronto -150, right at our limit. Going with the (1H) as my POD .. hope I can hit it after losing two POD's in a row.
