Minnesota Twins vs Toronto Blue Jays Preview and MLB Odds – 18/5/10

Minnesota Twins vs Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Betting Picks: Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays will meet on 18 May 2010 at 12:37 PM ET. This match will takes place at Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario.

The big hits Toronto has been collecting all season were nowhere to be found in its series opener against the Minnesota Twins, who got plenty of offense to easily end the Blue Jays' four-game winning streak.

Shaun Marcum looks like the ideal candidate to get them back on track.

Marcum is coming off perhaps his best start as he continues his impressive recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he'll try to improve to 3-0 this month when the Blue Jays wrap up their two-game set with the first-place Twins on Tuesday afternoon at Rogers Centre.

Marcum (2-1, 2.78 ERA) was an up-and-coming starter after going 21-13 with a 3.77 ERA from 2007-2008, but he missed all of last season after having reconstructive elbow surgery.

The Toronto Blue Jays have won 11 of 14, thanks in large part to leading the majors in home runs and extra-base hits.

A critical homer of their own helped the Minnesota Twins avoid being swept over the weekend.

The Blue Jays go for their fifth straight win when they begin a two-game series against the visiting Twins on Monday night.

Toronto (23-16) continued to roll offensively over the weekend, sweeping three games from Texas by a combined score of 27-12. The Rangers scored 10 of those runs in Friday's series opener, managing 14 hits over the next two games.

The Twins will hand the ball to Kevin Slowey (4-3, 4.62 ERA), who lost his last start after back-to-back wins. He gave up five runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 5-2 defeat to Chicago on Tuesday.
