Minnesota Twins - Boosted in Confidence (WLLWW)

Twins would be feeling, over the moon, as they ended their two-match losing streak the other night. Twins will rely upon Chris Archer for tonight’s game, who has had 72 pitches and 46 strikes till now. Talking about the statistics, Minnesota are lacking behind in runs per game this season, which means their power hitters aren’t playing a significant role. The Twins have a 22-point worse slugging percentage and a 46-point lower OPS versus right-handed pitchers. To make matters worse, they’ve struck out in 26.2 percent of their at-bats this season against right-handed pitchers.
