The Minnesota Twins have gone 6-1 this season when they send Phil Hughes to the mound. Though Hughes has posted an underwhelming 4.74 ERA on the year, the Twins have given him an average of 5.6 runs of support.Can the Twins continue to carry Hughes to wins when they kick off a three-game set with the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday?
Nolan Arenado is batting .323 with a 1.039 OPS on the road this season.
The Rockies are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games on the road against the Twins.
Minnesota is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games
The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Twins' last 14 games.
Either Hughes needs to step up or the Twins’ bats need to get after a rock-solid Kyle Freeland. The left-hander has a stellar 1.65 ERA when not pitching in the thin air of Coors Field this season. Freeland has been dealing during the month of May, as the youngster has only surrendered seven hits and four earned runs in 12.1 innings of work.
Shutting down Miguel Sano is going to be key for the Rockies in this series, as the Twins 3B paces the team in batting average, on-base percentage, hits, home runs and RBIs. The Rockies sit near the top of the league in offense overall but those numbers drop exponentially away from Colorado, which isn’t a shock. The Rockies are slashing .233/.296/.375 on the road this season compared to .280/.332/.479 at home.Twins' ML

Although Minnesota has home field advantage they are only batting .232 against left handed pitchers. Colorado has a slight starting pitcher advantage but we can expect for this potent Colorado offense to blossom in the latter innings against a poor Minnesota bullpen.

Hughes hasnt gone deep much in his starts but his pitch counts rack up quickly while Freeland has gone 6 + innings in each of his last 4 starts(2 roadies). COL also is a great 11-5 on the road thus far.
COL -0.5 /OVER 9.5
