The Twins find themselves in a bit of a surprising situation after the first month of play in the 2022 season. Sitting in first place at 18-11, most people expected that the AL Central would be firmly in the hands of the White Sox, who have stumbled out of the gate and are now barely one game above .500.
Of course, it’s not so much that everyone expected the Twins to be terrible as the ChiSox were expected to be so much better than their showing so far this year. The Pale house have improved in recent play after stumbling out of the gate though, so now it’ll be up to the Twins to keep that hold on the cat bird seat in the Central.
