Pick: Garrett Whitlock is one of the best right handed pitchers in MLB that most baseball bettors don’t know about. He’s spent a lot of time injured, but is starting to look like the prospect he was touted to be.

Twins starter Sonny Gray is a name we’re all familiar with. What you may not be aware of is his home ERA is 1.96 in 46 innings this season.

I’m forecasting 5 runs or less to be scored Wednesday at Target Field. I’m betting UNDER 8.5 -120 and expect this line to drop throughout the day.
