Six MLB underdogs won Wednesday, including the biggest dog on the board, the Minnesota Twins (+210 at New York).

The Pirates won as +165 dogs and Oakland rewarded bettors with a +155 payout. Even the lowly Astros barely missed, losing 3-2 as +190 road pups at Washington.

Can the favorites rebound Thursday? Can the Twins win again as the biggest underdog on the baseball odds menu?

Anthony Swarzak and Phil Hughes are both 0-2 to start the year but a slight majority of OddsShark.com voters are on the Twins as +190 underdogs.

Oakland sends Tom Milone against CJ Wilson as the dog Athletics visit the Angels. There is prop action on when Albert Pujols will finally start swinging his $275 million bat as well.

Atlanta, Philadelphia and Texas are the only road favorites Thursday. The early baseball wagering consensus had the Phillies at -120 as the most one-side action at about 69%.

But the highest percentage was 72.3% of bettors picking OVER 9 in the Texas at Detroit game. That sees Yu Darvish back on the hill for the hot Rangers.
