“Why Less is More: The Surprising Strategy Behind Limited Scoring Chances in Today’s Game”

The Twins didn’t make a big splash this offseason but they did a few years ago when they signed Carlos Correa. After the initial success, they definitely took a step back last year. This year is also off to a rough start with the team winning just five of their first 16 games. The rough start can pretty much be blamed entirely on the offense. The Twins are hitting just .208 against league, and they’ve only scored 55 runs. 3.4 runs per game is tough at any point in the season. The pitching staff has been almost as good as the Mets in terms of WHIP – 1.22, but their ERA is a bit high at 3.85. Joe Ryan is their starter for tonight and he has been fantastic through two starts. He has a 2.65 ERA with a 0.71 WHIP. His most recent outing, against the Royals, he went seven innings and allowed just two hits and no runs. Ryan has only faced Soto and Jesse Winker in the past, going 0-for-6 combined against Ryan. He has only made one home start though, and he allowed four earned runs in five innings at home compared to the two starts on the road.
