#Twins vs. Royals prediction: Randy Dobnak will get it done again

Feeling lucky? If you are stepping out of your personal bubble and are unafraid of getting shot at, NYC bowling alleys are open! … Stitches is looking for a safer place to spend the weekend. I hear Portland, Ore., is very nice this time of year.

Minnesota is in Kansas City this weekend. One of the top teams in the American League, the Twins have not played as well on the road. Their record was 5-6 heading into Friday night’s series opener. The Royals were 5-5 at home before Friday night and they will throw Brady Singer (1-2, 4.56 ERA) at the Twins again. Singer had faced them in his past two starts, a win and a loss, surrendering five runs, nine hits over 10 ²/₃ total innings. Not bad. Minny goes with Randy Dobnak (4-1, 1.42 ERA), who beat KC five days ago, scattering three hits over 5 ¹/₃ innings. Dobnak’s been consistently good and the Twins’ “O” should provide enough run support. Play 20 units on the Twins.

Max Fried (one run, five innings) outpitched Aaron Nola (four runs, 2 ²/₃ innings) and the Braves embarrassed the Phillies 11-2. Marcell Ozuna with four RBIs. Phoolish pick returns us to -610 bunnings.
