Minnesota Twins (115)
Sat May 17 '08 8:05p The Minnesota Twins improved to 26-8 in their last 34 interleague games by beating the Colorado Rockies here last night, and we look for that success to continue tonight with Livan Hernandez on the bump.
Hernandez is 6-1, albeit with a mediocre 3.90 ERA, and the Twins are 8-1 in all of his starts. He does have three straight Quality Starts though, all of them Minnesota victories, and he has a much better 2.05 ERA over those outings. Also, Hernandez has five Quality Starts in his last five appearances vs. the Rockies, with two of those coming here in the altitude of Colorado.
The Rockies counter with rookie Greg Reynolds, who was not impressive in his Major League debut at San Diego. Reynolds allowed four earned runs and eight baserunners in 5.2 innings vs. what is currently the worst-hitting team in baseball, and the jury is still out on how he will handle pitching in Colorado.
Finally, the Rockies have now lost eight consecutive interleague games, and we are not convinced they deserve to be favored here.
