What a time to be alive. Wandy Rodriguez continues to be a fantasy-relevant streamer option and is pitching well against teams good and bad. His latest win against the Royals in Kansas City -- one to avoid honestly -- may be his best of the season. Now Wandy gets his turn against the Minnesota Twins in Arlington.
The Twins have yet to duplicate their success at home on the road and are coming off of a bad series against the lowly Milwaukee Brewers. Minnesota is 25th in runs scored on the road in 2015 and owns the worst average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS. Not that you need any more of a reason to start Rodriguez against Minnesota, but the Twins hit a home run every 54.5 at-bats, third worst in baseball while collecting a miniscule 63 extra-base hits away from Target Field. Minnesota has 80 extra-base hits at home in one more home contest than road contest.
