After sweeping the Tigers earlier this month, the Twins have fallen back into being the bad team most envisioned. Minnesota is 1-8 in its last nine games. They have no bullpen and Byron Buxton and Luke Keaschall aren't hitting. The team is 26th in batting. Tampa Bay is going in the other direction. The Rays have won three in a row and are going for a series sweep here. Tampa Bay has scored six runs in each of its last four games. The Rays have put up five or more runs in seven of their last eight home games. Neither starting pitcher, Simeon Woods Richardson for the Twins (0-3, 5.96) nor Tampa Bay's Jesse Scholtens (1-1, 2.93 ERA), is a proven pitcher. But Tampa Bay's bullpen is deeper and better than the Twins, who lack a closer. Take the Rays.

Minnesota at Tampa Bay
4:10 PM Eastern
Tampa Bay has won the past three meetings this season following Friday's 6-2 victory. Junior Caminero hit a two-run homer and a solo shot, and Jonathan Aranda added two solo drives for the Rays, who have won five of seven home games. Minnesota got off to a good start this season, but it has lost seven of eight. The Twins have lost eight of the past 11 meetings with Tampa Bay. Bailey Ober already has faced the Rays once in 2026 and allowed three runs on four hits in four innings on April 3. He has a 4.15 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP, and this will be just his second road start after yielding three runs in four innings at Baltimore on March 29. The Twins are 5-8 on the road, and they have allowed 16 runs in their past two games. Take the Rays.
