Minnesota Twins
The Minnesota Twins have struggled recently, losing six of their last seven games. They were active at the trade deadline, trading away 40% of their roster as part of a rebuilding effort. With many new faces on the team, they will focus on evaluating their young talent for the remainder of the season, which may result in some growing pains. Offensively, the Twins are ranked low in several categories, including runs per game, batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Byron Buxton has been a standout player for the team, leading in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. Defensively, the Twins are giving up a high number of runs per game and opponents have a relatively high batting average against them. In a recent start, Woods Richardson gave up three runs in 4.2 innings, leading to a win over Boston. He has a good record against Detroit, with a 2-1 record and 2.91 ERA in four games.
