The Minnesota Twins are preferred in Baseball betting on Thursday as they host the Royals in the climax of a three-game series.

The Minnesota Twins try for their seventh consecutive victory at home and a three-game sweep of the AL Central competitor Royals this evening in the series climax from Target Lineup.

The matchup in baseball betting is supposed to feature Bruce Chen going for the Kansas City Royals versus Minnesota's Scott Baker.

Scott Baker has done fine at Target Lineup. He has always pitched fine versus the Royals irrespective of the location. Baker permitted 4 runs over seven 1-3 innings in a 5-4, 11-inning victory at Oakland on Friday.

Most of the time in their new home the Minnesota Twins are preferred by MLB betting probabilities. Target Lineup has been good to the Minnesota Twins as to date the Minnesota Twins have been just as good at their new lineup as they were in the Metrodome. On Thursday, Scott Baker is supposed to get the start. He is 5-4 on the season with a 4.52 ERA. He went seven 1/3 innings previous time out versus Oakland and permitted 4 runs on 6 hits and had three strikeouts. The previous time he pitched versus The Kansas City Royals he permitted only two runs and seven hits. Baker is far better at home this year than traveling. His home ERA is 3.49 ERA whilst his road ERA is 5.66.

Minnesota Twins DH Jason Kubel is 4 for seven with three RBIs in this series and rookie third baseman Danny Valencia is 4 for 8.

Chen is 2- for the season with a 2.95 ERA. Gil Meche is injured, so he has been playing instead and doing quite well. In his two starts he's 1- with 3.00 ERA. Previous time out he went 5 innings and permitted just two earned runs on 4 hits. The veteran left-hander has played 10 relief appearances to go with his only career start versus the Minnesota Twins in 2004. He has a 5.75 ERA versus Minnesota.

In the past, Kansas City have not had a lot of success versus Minnesota vs the MLB betting probabilities. They had lost 15 of the previous 20 versus the Minnesota Twins before this series began. The teams played two series in April, one in Kansas City and one in Minnesota. Of the 6 matches, the Minnesota Twins won 4. 5 of those 6 matches went over the total in MLB betting.

In baseball betting, the Kansas City Royals have not been pretty good at home or on the road. They in fact have a little more value on the road since their prices are higher. The Kansas City Royals have lost eight out of 11 overall and 4 consecutive on the road. It's hard to take The Kansas City Royals, even with their major prices, since they are below average in hitting and in pitching.

Minnesota has been pretty good at home and just .500 on the road. That would be good enough however to win the American League Central. The Twins are about average in hitting but their pitching has been strong, rating in the top 10 in the league.
