Every player has a betting system in place, and it usually involves the home team as the side with the edge. That should hold true on Thursday, when the Los Angeles Angels host the Minnesota Twins in the first of a four-game set.

Twins Angels Odds – Thursday, July 23, 10:05 PM ET

Scott Baker (8-7, 5.10) got off to a good start after a rough first half, holding Texas to a run on six hits over eight innings in a 4-1 victory on the road. Baker also tied a season high with eight strikeouts while walking a pair of Rangers. The 27-year-old righty has now won four of his last five decisions despite a couple of shaky outings before the break, and he’s comfortable on the road with a 4-3 record in eight starts and a 4.38 ERA. However, he’s still looking for his first win against the Angels, posting an 0-4 mark in six starts with a 5.88 ERA, which is sure to sway some from making the Twins one of their baseball picks on Friday.

Jered Weaver (10-3, 3.48) is 7-1 in his last 10 starts, but he was lucky to earn a no-decision in an 11-6 victory in Oakland, as he left after just 3.2 innings, giving up five runs on eight hits. There are reports that Weaver was ill before the game and tried to gut it out, but it wasn’t happening. But maybe a return to Angels Stadium is what the doctor ordered as Weaver is 7-1 in 10 home starts with a 2.25 ERA. The 26-year-old righthander has found success against the Twins in the past, going 2-1 in four outings with a 2.60 ERA.

Your betting system will favor Los Angeles at home, where they have an MLB-best 32 wins. Weaver has been a beast this year, and he’d love to avenge that outing against Oakland, which means he’ll have his best stuff. The Twins have also dropped seven of their last 10 trips to Los Angeles, which doesn’t bode very well for their chance.
