If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be animosity aplenty on Friday when the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins meet at The Metrodome.
The Royals will pin their hopes on the pitching of lefthander John Bale in this game, and his opponent in this one will be righthander Scott Baker.
NewBodog oddsmakers currently have the Twins listed as 140-moneyline favorites versus the Royals, while the game's total has not yet been posted.
The Royals completed a three-game sweep of the Tigers with a 4-1 win on Thursday, as +170 underdogs. The five runs fell UNDER the posted over/under (8.5).
Alex Gordon cracked a two-run homer for the Royals, and finished 2-for-5 at the plate. Zack Greinke scattered six hits and one run over seven innings for the win, and Joakim Soria picked up his second save.
The Twins lost 5-4 to the Angels in the series finale on Thursday, as a -105 pik'em. The nine runs fell UNDER the posted over/under (9.5).
Joe Mauer doubled and drove in two runs for the Twins. Kevin Slowey gave up three runs off four hits in just over three innings of work in the loss.
