These two teams are both likely in this year’s postseason. The Cubs enter the series in comfortable command in the NL Central and the Twins xxx in the AL Central.
For more on the Twins, here’s TJ Gorsegner, managing editor of our SB Nation Twins site Twinkie Town:
A Cubs-Twins series is a rare treat for me, I grew up listening to Pat and Ron (Santo) on the radio. I still think of Pat Hughes as the voice of baseball. Anyway, you were asking about the Twins.
This is an interesting team, as they haven’t quite lived up to the offensive potential that we know the 2019 squad had, despite returning basically every contributor and adding Josh Donaldson.
