How to watch Twins games

National networks usually announce their picks a few days out, and in the postseason MLB often sets the Twins channel only when the previous round ends. This Twins page refreshes every morning, so the channel shows up here once it is listed.

The Twins season in numbers

Record

Division

3 of 5

Run diff.

-58

Expected wins

75

Home

42-39

Road

35-46

Across 162 games the Twins scored 739 times and allowed 797 runs, a run differential of -58. That works out to 4.56 runs scored and 4.92 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 75 games, so the Twins finished 2 wins above that mark. That is close enough to say the Twins record reflects how well they actually played.

At home the Twins went 42-39, on the road 35-46. The Twins home and road records sit close together, which is normal for an MLB club. Against left-handed starters they were 24-27, against right-handers 53-58, and they closed the regular season 6-4 over the last ten games, winning the final game.

Recent form: the last 10 games

In their last 10 regular-season games the Twins went 6-4, scoring 4.7 and allowing 3.2 runs per game. 4 of those 10 games finished above 9 total runs, 3 were decided by a single run, and the widest margin was 10-2 at home against TEX. The chart plots each of those Twins games, runs scored above the line and runs allowed below it.

The Twins in the first inning

The first inning stayed scoreless in 40.1% of Twins games, compared with 49.4% across the league. The Twins scored in the first inning 34.6% of the time and allowed a first-inning run in 35.8% of games. That places the Twins among the clubs where the first inning is most often busy. The NRFI Lab puts the Twins next to every other team and starter on the same split.

How to read the Twins numbers

Reading these Twins numbers before a game: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Target Field helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Twins games have run high or low. With 3 one-run games in the last ten, the Twins are a good example of why the run line at -1.5 or +1.5 can price very differently from the moneyline. None of these Twins figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.

Target Field, home of the Twins

The Minnesota Twins play their home games at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN, at an elevation of 828 feet. Games there averaged 9.21 total runs, an index of 1.03 against the league average, close to neutral. At Target Field, wind direction and temperature change how far the ball carries, so the game-day forecast matters. The ballpark scoring page ranks all 30 parks.

Twins injured list

6 players are on the Twins injured list: Anthony Banda (P, IL 60-Day), Cole Sands (P, IL 60-Day), David Festa (P, IL 60-Day), Mick Abel (P, IL 60-Day), Mike Paredes (P, IL 60-Day), Pablo López (P, IL 60-Day). The list comes from the Twins 40-man roster and refreshes every morning.
