A factor that has me siding with the ‘Over’ is the fact that HP Ump Mike Everitt had a very small strike zone this season, and saw his games average 11+ runs on the year. The ‘Over’ was a perfect 4-0 this year when the posted ‘total’ fell on 9 runs. The Twins bats have been silent this entire series when it’s mattered most, but I foresee that changing this afternoon in this crucial Game 3 match-up with the A’s. Danny Haren really floundered to close out the season, and his ERA paid a stiff price for it. He’s 0-2 with a bloated 8.10 Era his L/3 starts, and he’s given up 24 hits (5 HR’s)in only 16 innings of work during that stretch. Haren’s wildness just might be the cure to what’s been ailing the Twins bats the first two games of this series. Look for both offenses to flourish as the ‘Over’ cashes for the first time in this series.
