The Minnesota Twins send Kirk Gibson to the mound in this 2:30 ET start. Gibson has certainly lowered his ERA from 8.62 in his first seven starts down to 3.91 in his last six outings while going 4-2. In Gibson’s most recent three starts his ERA is 3.17 backed by a WHIP of 3.17. Minnesota/Gibson has won the last two starts vs. the Orioles, 14-7 and 6-2 with both games vs. Ubaldo Jimenez the pitcher that Gibson faces this afternoon.
Jimenez has an ERA of 8.82 with a WHIP of 1.500 in his last three starts and his road ERA is 7.57, WHIP of 1.626. He’s allowed 30 earned runs in 35.7 innings when away from home this season including 10 homers.

Yesterday’s selection on the Mets/Cardinals over 9 lost. I was able to find one book where my juice was 10 cents while my other “outs” had the juice as high as -130. It’s always wise to shop around and have more than one book where you can wager at. With that loss I am 08-11-02 and -2.86-units with my EE offerings.
Baseball Pick
This afternoon my Every Edge selection is on the Minnesota Twins @ -122 on the money line.
