The St. Louis Cardinals roll into Target Field at 37-30, one of the better records in the National League, while the Minnesota Twins are sitting at 32-39 and really need a series win to keep from falling further out of the race.

Vegas has the Twins as a slight home favorite at minus-110, with the over-under sitting at nine, which tells you the books expect some action out of the bullpens before this one is done. The Cardinals have been swinging hot bats through the heart of their order lately, so whoever Minnesota runs out as the starter better have his stuff working early or the manager is going to be going to the pen before the sixth inning.

Bold call: Cardinals walk off with it in extra innings, because a team playing above .500 on the road against a club hovering eight games under just has the feel of a gut-punch loss for the home crowd.
