Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins Preview - June 9th

An intraleague American League Central division matchup will be taking place on Wednesday night at brand new Target Field in Minneapolis, as the Minnesota Twins play host to the Kansas City Royals. Kyle Davies will be getting the call for the Royals, as he looks to turn his season around after an abysmal start. The Twins will have veteran Carl Pavano on the mound. As this pitching matchup leaves a great deal to be desired in terms of run scoring, it is important to recognize good value when it is available. The prospect of what this game has to offer bettors has betsfreebets.com very excited about the possibility of this game going OVER the posted total. In order to see your own bets come in as winners, you are advised to follow suit and make the OVER your free bet wager for this game. The only pitcher in the Royals starting rotation that has struggled more than Kyle Davies would be Gil Meche. Davies currently holds a 5.49 ERA while having a 4-4 record. He has yet to pitch exceptionally well in any one of his starts, and the Twins are just too good at the plate for Davies to recognize the level of success that he is going to need to have if the Royals are to come out of this game with a victory. Offensively, Jose Guillen has been good with the power numbers but he just isn't averaging the numbers that are necessary for his batting to be making a difference. Though he has 13 HR and 38 RBI, both of which lead the team, Guillen has a sub-.250 batting average and continues to struggle against good, quality pitching. Billy Butler continues to have a very good season for himself, as he is hitting to the tune of .330 while limiting the number of strikeouts that he is the victim of on a regular basis. If the Royals are to win this game, they will have to match the Twins run for run, which means that there is a high probability that the free wager of the total going OVER seems like a good bet for this game. While Pavano has not been spectacular this season, there is no doubt that he has pitched the Twins to some key victories early in the season. He will be backed up on Wednesday night by a great bullpen who is really starting to find the control and efficiency necessary to be successful Major League pitchers. Brian Duensing and Matt Guerrier lead the way for the Twins bullpen, as Minnesota continues to be the cream of the American League Central crop. M&M (Morneau & Mauer) have been about as unstoppable as two individuals can be this season. Bettors have watched in awe as Morneau has hit an astounding .370 while Mauer hangs around hitting above .300 for yet another season. Orlando Hudson has also been a great addition to the Minnesota lineup, as he adds above. 300 hitting and a legitimate stolen base threat. These numbers will ultimately exploit Kyle Davies' weaknesses, which will ultimately lead to the free bet prediction of this game going OVER the posted total. When looking to bet on Major League Baseball totals, it is important to remember that a great deal of what goes into the posted total is predicated on which pitchers are involved. As Davies and Pavano are not the most consistent hurlers in the American League, it could be potentially very difficult for this game to be low scoring. betsfreebets.com believes that both teams will come into this game looking to exploit the perceived weaknesses that each pitcher has. This will lead to the free wager successfully being won on the total in this game going OVER.
