Minnesota Faces Shocking Downfall as A’s Extend Unbelievable Losing Streak
The Twins are putting together a decent campaign, but the reality is that this team is not likely to make the postseason. The reason I say that is because despite being above .500, they might be the fourth best team in their division. The Tigers look like a truly talented club, the Royals are playing well, and you really can’t ever count out the Guardians. Minnesota has been solid overall, and are sitting four games over .500 at the moment, but I also won’t call this a team that is destined to be that much better than .500. If they finish the season 90-72, I think people would be pretty surprised. If they finish the year 84-78, you’re probably thinking they performed about as well as could be expected. Someone who is outperforming expectations is Joe Ryan. Ryan is 5-2 with a 2.57 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP for the year. That is the third best WHIP in all of baseball. He has been good at home and on the road, and great during night starts. His May was phenomenal, going 29 innings and allowing six total earned runs over five starts, four of them quality outings. Ryan hasn’t faced the Athletics much, holding them to three hits in 17 at-bats.
