Toronto at Minnesota

May 2, 2026
img2:10 PM Eastern

The Blue Jays came within one game of winning the World Series last year, but Toronto is off to a slow start, hardly resembling last year's American League pennant winner. The Blue Jays are 15-17, which includes a 5-9 road record. They rank in the bottom eight in runs, homers, and OPS. Their pitching staff has a below-average ERA, and they have committed the fourth-most errors. Even with Dylan Cease on the mound, they should not be a road favorite here against the Twins. Minnesota's Connor Prielipp will be making his third big league start. He is said to possess excellent stuff and has a 4.00 ERA and an impressive 0.89 WHIP. Cease has a 2.87 ERA, but a 1.37 WHIP. Toronto is 2-3 in his starts. The Twins rank 10th in homers and runs. Star outfielder Byron Buxton has gotten hot for Minnesota with four homers in the last five games. Take the Twins.
