The Blue Birds play the Twinkies in Minnesota.
Toronto's Bowden Francis was gone faster than President Trump's Tesla after he was shelled for six runs in just 1 ²/₃ innings by the Phillies in his most recent outing on June 3.
The Twins' Joe Ryan has won two in a row, but the mighty Athletics scored four runs over five frames in his most recent start.
We will take Ryan and the Twins for $50.

Yamamoto pitched six scoreless innings. Fedde threw 5 ¹/₃ innings.
The Dodgers scored a run off Ryan Helsley.
The Cardinals scored two off Ben Casparius and beat L.A. Final 2-1.
Nolan Arenado with the walk-off hit.
Heavy loss takes us to -352 birdstones. Too bad Baeza didn't come through in the Belmont Stakes.
