Kansas City arrived without their scheduled starter — Wacha is out sick — and handed the ball to Luinder Avila, a 24-year-old who has spent the bulk of 2026 working out of the bullpen. His 5.06 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in a spot-start role don't profile against a Minnesota lineup that has been among the better units in baseball against right-handed pitching. Joe Ryan takes the mound for the Twins, carrying a 2.94 ERA and 0.93 WHIP — fourth in the majors in that category — and has been consistently sharp through his recent stretch. The Kansas City bullpen behind Avila is one of the worst in the sport. This is a spot where you lay the price. Minnesota is the right side tonight. Take the Twins.
