What do you get when you put together two of the most solid teams in the American League as of recently and put them together in a three-game series starting tonight? You get the chance to check out some great baseball action as the Minnesota Twins, first in the AL Central, will be looking to stay hot at home as they welcome a Houston Astros team that’s riding on cloud nine right now with how everything has turned around for them as of lately, especially in the wins department. A great pitching duel is also ahead of us as Twins ace Joe Ryan will take the mound against Justin Verlander for Houston in what promises to be a thrilling matchup.
Game Preview
If you’re a true fan of the sport of baseball then there’s no way you’re not a fan of the Minnesota Twins and how they consistently, season after season manage to have some of the most solid and good performing rosters in MLB. This year is no exception either as they have been keeping a stronghold on the lead of the AL Central, all while putting the AL on notice that they are not playing around when it comes to their aspirations. With guys on offense like Jorge Polanco, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa, and a pitching staff lead by today’s starting pitcher Joe Ryan, the Twins are playing what could easily be taken as the true definition of solid, good baseball.
Of course, against a team like the Astros, who are riding on one of the best winning streaks in the American League right now, they will need a true defensive effort to hold back Houston’s bats. But that shouldn’t be much to worry for a team like Minnesota who at home has shown to play some of their best baseball and who are not willing to budge on letting go of their most recent 3-game winning streak they have going on.
The Houston Astros on the other side of the ball are as hot as ever and they are now just one game away from reaching the Los Angeles Angels on top of the AL West division. What this Astros team has managed to pull off ever since resurging as the great baseball team that they are is impressive. Winning seven games in a row and eight of their last ten, speaks volumes of this team, yes, somewhat on offense, but above all on the pitching side of the game. Houston’s rotation and bullpen is a premium department that could end up being the reason the Astros not only take today’s game, especially with Justin Verlander on the mound but also continue on their chase for the top of the AL West division.
