Before\u00a0baseball gambling<\/strong><\/a> fans turn their attention to other sports betting events, we have the Saturday MLB game of the day pick for you. It\u2019s time for our weekly baseball picks for online MLB betting action.<\/p>\n Season Record: CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR MLB PICKS FOR TODAY! \u2014\u2013><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Division Leaders Meet In AL Battle<\/strong> Lewis vs. Twins Hitting<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s fair to say Colby Lewis has hit a rough patch. The right-hander hasn\u2019t recorded a win since July 16th<\/sup>, going 0-6 in eight starts since. He\u2019s allowed 12 runs in his last three starts, including five runs in five innings in his most recent outing versus Oakland. Fatigue may be Lewis\u2019 biggest problem. Before this season, Lewis hadn\u2019t pitched more than 126 innings in a Major League ballpark, and that was in 2003 (he had battled injuries and spent 07-09 pitching in Japan). Now, he\u2019s up to 167 innings and is pitching the majority of games in the Texas summer sun. An extended break\/missed start may be forced into his future.<\/p>\n This will be Lewis\u2019\u00a0 third try against Minnesota this season; he\u2019s gone 0-1 in the previous two starts. He hasn\u2019t been terrible, allowing five runs 12 1\/3 innings against the Twins. Nobody on the Twins has extensive experience against Lewis, although DH Jim Thome has made the most out of their limited time together; Thome is 4-for-6 with 5 RBI\u2019s all-time versus the right-hander. If you\u00a0bet on MLB<\/a>, picking Thome to have a good game would be a solid start.
