Someone Needs To Step Up and Save the Twins

2 days ago | zonecoverage.com | Chris Schad

The Minnesota Twins are stuck. After a dismal stretch to begin the season, they rattled off 13 straight wins in early May. When the streak ended, the carriage turned back into a pumpkin, and they lost 15 of their past 18 games after Tuesday’s 6-5 loss to the Seattle Mariners. When you consider that Minnesota finished last season with a 12-27 stretch over the final six weeks, most franchises would make changes.
Dennis Green and Randall Cunningham Triggered a Butterfly Effect for the Vikings

Several moments in a franchise’s history can change its trajectory. Unfortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, most of them have been negative. Gary Anderson’s missed field goal in the 1998 NFC Championship game and the New York Giants beating them 41-0 in the 2000 NFC Championship game had consequences in the final years of the Dennis Green era.
How Long Should the Packers Wait To Extend Zach Tom?

4 days ago | zonecoverage.com | Felipe Reis |Felipe Reis Aceti

The Green Bay Packers will eventually extend Zach Tom’s contract. Under NFLPA rules, the team can begin negotiations with their All-Pro right tackle this offseason. However, they could also let him play out the final year of his rookie deal and revisit extension talks just before the start of the 2026 league year. The only real question is when the Packers will lock in their right tackle for the foreseeable future.

LocksMLB (0.5 Unit) New York Yankees Team Total Over 5.5 (+105; Odds via Caesars): 6:10 PM CT on YESThat stretch of futility out of the Yankee bats was really strange, especially the scoreless innings streak. I have a feeling some of that is still lingering with them, but typically this season, the cure for what ails the Yankees has been facing a lefthanded starter. That’s what they’ll get today in Nick Lodolo, and there are a couple of things working in New York’s favor.

LocksNBA (0.75 Unit) Indiana Pacers @ OKC Thunder -3.5 First Quarter (-110; Odds via Caesars): 7:00 PM CT on ABCIf there’s one last NBA game this season, then I’m going down swinging with one of the better trends on the year. The Thunder have been the best first quarter team all season, with a plus-5.0 average margin in home games. They’ve won the first quarter in their home games of this series by margins of 6, 9, and 10, while also dominating the first quarter in the other rounds.

LocksMLB (0.5 Unit) Texas Rangers/Pittsburgh Pirates Over 8.5 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 3:05 PM CT on FS1This is really a gut pick for me based on the weather and what I think these starting pitchers are capable of allowing. It’s ideal hitting conditions at PNC Park today with warm temperatures and the wind blowing out, which should give a boost to these normally dysfunctional offenses.
Will the Vikings Regret Passing On Jaire Alexander?

6 days ago | zonecoverage.com | Chris Schad

When fans look at the Minnesota Vikings’ depth chart, they’ll first seek out the weaknesses. Despite a 14-3 season a year ago, Minnesota’s season ended with a thud as the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams exploited the offensive line in back-to-back losses. In a perfect world, fans (and probably Kevin O’Connell) would like to avoid this experience, which is why the Vikings went out and overhauled their offensive line this spring.
What Happened To Kody Clemens?

1 week ago | zonecoverage.com | CJ Baumgartner

The Minnesota Twins overcame a 7-15 start to the season with a 13-game winning streak in May to save their season. It takes an entire baseball team playing well to win every game over a two-week stretch. Minnesota’s pitching was dominant, with a league-best 2.06 ERA. Meanwhile, the 68 runs scored by the lineup were top nine in baseball. Out of all the high-ceiling talent in Minnesota, Kody Clemens was the player who stood out the most as the spark plug in the season-saving streak.

LocksMLB (0.5 Unit) Milwaukee Brewers/Minnesota Twins First 5 Innings Under 4 (-110; Odds via BetMGM): 7:10 PM CT on Fanduel Sports WIThe top pitching prospect for Milwaukee is up in the big leagues and gets his second career start tonight. Jacob Misiorowski is a scary one too, with nasty stuff from an unusual delivery as the Cardinals found out last week in not even managing a hit against him.
J.J. McCarthy's Primetime Debut Has All The Pressure Of A First Impression

1 week ago | zonecoverage.com | Nelson Thielen

Is there anything harder to overcome than a bad first impression? The first time I met my wife was at a party in high school. The party was “glow in the dark” themed, and the host tasked me with taking this can of glow-in-the-dark hairspray and spraying it in people’s hair so they’d glow when the lights went off. My wife, who’d painstakingly worked on her hair for hours before the event, was greeted as she came through the door with me spraying a bunch of radioactive-looking chemicals in her hair.
