Oakland is desperate for a win, and it will go with Daulton Jefferies here, who has not allowed one earned run in 11 innings in two day games while getting lit up in night games. Minnesota will be facing him for the first time. The Athletics have pitched well the first two games of this series, but they need to start putting some runs on the board. They'll go up against Chris Paddack today, who had a 5.07 ERA in 2021 with San Diego. And so far this season, he has given up seven runs in 20 innings for the Twins, who are 20-41 the last 61 meetings. Also, Oakland is 90-36 in its last 126 games versus AL Central teams. We're getting good line value in this matchup, and Carlos Correa is questionable for the Twins with a finger contusion. Take the Athletics.
