The Blue Jays are easily the best home underdog on Tuesday’s MLB card.

Minnesota Twins at Toronto Blue Jays

Minnesota gets no break in traveling up north for a series against the Toronto Blue Jays, with the club carrying a disappointing 8-12 mark against the AL East division.  The Twins also currently stand at 18-21 on the road this season (-210) and have dropped 13 of their last 19 away from Target Field.  Offensively, the lineup will be led by the All-Star combination of catcher Joe Mauer and first baseman Justin Morneau.  Mauer is hitting .388 in his last 14 games against the Blue Jays, while Morneau is a sizzling .354 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs in his last 25 meetings.  Minnesota is an even 1-1 on artificial turf this season – the surface of the team’s old home the Metrodome.

The Athletics are the best home underdog on Monday’s card in a series opening game against the Yankees.

New York Yankees at Oakland Athletics

New York heads West with the best record in baseball (50-31, +250) and winners of two of its last three games.  Tonight’s game is the first of a seven-game road trip, with the club currently 22-18 away from Yankee Stadium (-190).  The Bronx Bombers are a dominating 33-17 against right-handed starters in 2010 (+780), averaging 5.7 runs and combining to bat .284 as a team.  In those 50 games, New York is outscoring opponents by a run and a half (5.7 to 4.2).  The Yankees are 14-4 against the Athletics since the start of the 2008 season.  New York also brings an impressive 33-18 (.647) mark against them since 2004, marking the highest winning percentage over the stretch by any AL team.

The Phillies turn to their ace in the opening game of a crucial NL East series at Citizens Bank Park.

Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies

Atlanta comes into this crucial NL East showdown two games ahead of the New York Mets.  The Braves won all three series of its recently completed homestand, but it ended with a 3-2 loss to Florida on Sunday.  The loss was only the fourth in Atlanta’s last 24 home games and ended the club’s three-game winning streak.  The Braves now must leave their MLB-best 30-10 home record and head on the road.  Atlanta stands at 18-24 overall on the road (-650) and is 93-111 away from Turner Field over the last three years (-1,330).  The offense will find itself in a precarious spot this evening, managing to bat just .232 over the last seven games and .249 overall on the road this season.  Opposing pitchers from the NL East have also held the Braves to just 3.5 runs per game within the division.

Playing the total is a definite option for bettors in the first game of this NL series.

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers

San Francisco dropped a 4-3 decision to the Colorado Rockies in 15 innings on Sunday at Coors Field.  The club is four games into a season-long 11-game road trip that takes the team through three different time zones.  “We need to be more consistent on both sides of the ball,” manager Bruce Bochy said.  Since June 22, the Giants have lost 10 of 12 games and have been outscored by a 67-42 margin.  San Francisco’s recent troubles has caused the team to fall back a season-high 7.5 games in the NL West divisional race.  The team has good reason to be confident in playing the Brewers, as the Giants have posted their best record against NL Central opponents this season (15-7).  San Francisco played at Miller Park twice last season, going 3-3, but the club has won just six of their last 23 games in Milwaukee.

Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers

Baltimore avoided a three-game sweep on Sunday by defeating the Boston Red Sox, 6-1, at Fenway Park.  The Orioles have lost 16 straight road series dating back to last September.  The offense has been a major weakness for the last place club in the AL East, managing to be shut out or score one run 21 times and have scored three runs or fewer 46 times in the first 80 games of the season.  With the low-scoring from the Orioles, the total in their games stands at 33-44-3 O/U for the season.  Baltimore is hitting a combined .242 on the road and scoring an average of just 3.1 runs.
