For the second time in as many seasons the Twins have captured the AL Central crown, and are now looking to snap what is a currently a 16-game playoff losing streak. All 10 of their most recent losses came at the hands of the New York Yankees, so I’m sure that Minnesotans are happy to see them face off against a different opponent.
The Twins got here after a season where they had to deal with injuries piling up on a lineup that was more than elite last season. Luckily, their pitching really stepped up, especially after the team went out and shored it up with some key offseason pickups.
