<h2>
Twins vs. A's Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Oakland grabbed the opener of this series Tuesday night 8-6, cashing in as a +100 home dog on the MLB betting line.
</p>
<p>
Also, Tuesday's game played over a total of 9.5 runs, as the teams combined to hit six dingers.
</p>
<p>
With Tuesday's victory, the A's now own a four-game winning streak, part of a current 6-1 run. At 47-39 overall Oakland trails first-place Houston by seven games in the AL West but it's also tied with Cleveland for second place in the American League wild-card race.
</p>
<p>
With Tuesday's loss, the Twins are just 1-4 over their last five games. At 53-31 overall Minnesota leads the AL Central by seven games over the second-place Indians, and it's still only a game and a half behind the Yankees in the battle for the best record in the American League.
</p>
<p>
This series is the first meeting between these two teams this season. Last year the A's took the season series from the Twins five games to two.

<h2>
Wednesday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Fiers, by our strict standards, is 10/17 on quality starts this season, working on a string of four in a row.
</p>
<p>
Last Friday he held the Angels to one run and six hits through 6 2/3 innings of a 7-2 Oakland victory. And over his last four starts, he's allowed just five earned runs and 17 hits through 25 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
The A's are 10-7 with Fiers this season, 5-0 over his last five starts.
</p>
<p>
In two starts against Minnesota last year Fiers allowed just two runs and nine hits through 11 2/3 innings. Oakland won both those games.
</p>
<p>
Gibson is just 5/15 on quality starts this season and 0 for his last two. Last Thursday he tossed one inning of perfect relief in that 18-inning Twins loss to Tampa Bay. But over his two starts previous to that he allowed 10 runs on 14 hits and six walks through 11 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
Minnesota is 10-5 with Gibson this season, but only 2-2 over his last two starts.
</p>
<p>
In his most recent start against the A's, back in September of last season, Gibson gave up just one run and seven hits over 7 1/3 innings of a 5-1 Twins victory.

Twins at A’s Prediction 07/03/2019
Fiers owns the edge in the pitching match-up, and while Minnesota might hold an advantage with the sticks, Oakland owns the better bullpen. Plus, the A's are playing the better ball as of late, and they're getting a home-dog price. We like Oakland for our free MLB pick here.
