Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins have been impressive this season, currently sitting just 2.5 games back in the tough AL Central race. Their success can be attributed to their strong offense, ranking seventh in runs scored in all of baseball in 2024. Despite a team ERA of 4.06, their pitching staff has been consistent enough to keep them in the competition all season. 29-year old righty Bailey Ober has been instrumental in their recent success, with the team winning their past five games when he takes the mound. Despite a recent loss to the Padres, the Twins look to bounce back and improve on their 70-55 record as they continue their push for the postseason.
