It ended with Yankee-fueled heartbreak, but the Twins' 2019 season was a thrilling and unexpected triumph. They won 101 games, took home their first division title since 2010 and turned the bleachers and shrubbery beyond the walls of Target Field into their own personal target practice, launching a historic number of home runs and earning the…

Following back-to-back AL Central titles in 2019 and 2020, the Minnesota Twins ended last in the division with a record of 73-89 in 2021. Despite this, hopes are still fairly high for the Twins as they have been one of the most active teams in baseball since the lockout has ended. Doc's Sports offers MLB expert picks for every game on our baseball…

The Minnesota Twins have been all over the place of late. On the heels of back-to-back American League Central division titles, the Twins collapsed in 2021. They finished last in the division and were sellers at the MLB trade deadline, most notably moving Jose Berrios and Nelson Cruz. This offseason, Minnesota made a 180, as they were one of the…

The young, upstart Cleveland Guardians defied all odds and made it to the MLB American League Division Series against the veteran New York Yankees. The Yankees defeated Cleveland in the deciding Game 5, October 18, at Yankee Stadium. Scoring three runs in the first inning on a three-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton, the Guardians could never catch…

The Baltimore Orioles and Minnesota Twins finish a 4-game series Thursday night! It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Twins-Orioles prediction and pick. The Twins are looking to take the series after winning the first two of the 4-game set. The Orioles won last night 9-4 after a strong offensive showcase. The Twins are playing great…

After a seemingly never-ending lockout, many fans feared the Minnesota Twins were heading for a full rebuild. But the acquisitions of Sonny Gray, Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela, along with the massive free agent signing superstar Carlos Correa, means the Twins are ready to fight their way to the top of the American League Central again. The lineup…

It's the second-to-last day of March, and the Minnesota Twins open up their major league season in just over a week. After the addition of Chris Archer and Derek Falvey indicating the team wouldn't be adding another starter, another addition seems unlikely. With 33 players currently on the roster, the team needs to make five more moves in order to…

The Twins have serious competition in the AL Central this season, but that's been true in each of the last two seasons, and they've still won relatively handily. They are a model franchise of the modern game, with a creative and aggressive front office, state-of-the-art coaches and player development, and a deep roster. Their next challenge will be…

With a run of three playoff appearances in four years, the Minnesota Twins were expected to at least compete in the lowly AL Central last season. Instead, they finished 16 games under.500 and went from first in 2019 and 2020 to worst in 2021. They don't look like a legitimate contender in 2022, either. The Twins haven't won a playoff series since…

This is part of an off-season series on 2022's silver linings. Find part one here and part two here. The 2022 season did not end on a happy note for the Twins- especially considering they led the AL Central for most of the first half. However, there's plenty of things to look at with optimism, both from 2022 and for 2023. Today's topic: the…

The Minnesota Twins (an MLB-best 40-18) visit the Cleveland Indians (29-30) for the start of a three-game series at Progressive Field Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. ET. This is their second series of 2019 - the Twins took two of three at home to open the season. Monday: Both were off. The Twins won the last three of four at the Tampa Bay Rays during the…

Xander Bogaerts made perhaps the easiest decision of his career on Monday afternoon, when he officially opted out of his team-friendly contract with the Red Sox to become a free agent for the first time. Bogaerts, 30, has been the most productive offensive shortstop in baseball for the last five years. Since 2018, his.880 OPS is clear and away the…

Toronto's bats have come alive and powered it to eight wins in a row. It'll go for No. 9 tonight as a depleted Minnesota team visits. We break down the MLB betting value here with our Twins vs. Blue Jays picks. The Toronto Blue Jays are starting to hit the way many expected them to prior to the season and have ridden this wave of hitting to eight…

Get your coffee ready as we've got some morning baseball on tap. The Boston Red Sox host the Minnesota Twins with first pitch at 11:10 a.m. for the annual Patriots' Day matinee. We like the BoSox to keep dominating the Twinkies in our betting picks. The Minnesota Twins will have to set an early alarm as they battle the Boston Red Sox on Patriots'…

And so another Detroit Tigers season comes to a close. This wraps up the fourth season we've been doing this newsletter and, well, we certainly can't say there's been a pattern. 2019, with its mere 47 wins (and the very real shot at the AL loss record), was just a six-month dumpster fire. (Though that might be unkind to dumpster fires, which at…
